I’m not one to brag.

But I just came up so frecking hard on craigslist. My girl doesn’t care. Needed someone to share the excitement with.

$250 copped me two near mint sl-1200’s and a vestax pcv275 mixer. the mk2’s even came with the 45 adapter and dust covers. The dude even through in a Roland DR-670 and some spare Technics headshells.




Sweet find but why is deck A pitched so low? :wink: Awesome deal man, I’m a little jealous.

:open_mouth:

edit: nm, see what you’re saying.

you never listen to the flaming lips in super slow mo?

Have you checked the calibration yet to see if 0=0 on Pitch?

yeah, they’re working perfect.

i just recalibrated the counterweights and anti-skate.

nice!

That’s a score man! Grats :smiley:

I’m real close to just banning you for a week getting such a smoking deal. :smiley: Congrats man.

WOW!

Serious find!

And a vestax 3 channel to boot!

Color me jealous…

Winnnnnnning!

this is one of those ‘pics or its a lie’ threads

but there are pics

Screenshot of the Craigslist ad??? Awesome find. Probably a good reason to scan through CL often. Did the person not know what they were selling??

I almost put my 1200’s up on CL a few weeks ago but invested in some flight cases instead to store them for now. I don’t really need the money and they’ll last forever. I realized once they’re gone I’d never buy them again.

Thanks everyone, I’m still glowing.

The dude got them around four years ago from a friend that owed him money.

“I tried scratching on them, but that shit was hard man.” He had no clue about technics or anything. When I called him within the minute he posted, had him read out the model numbers and persuaded him to take down the listing.

Wish I still had the add. He even tossed in like 50 electro albums that aren’t half bad from around 2004-2006.

That’s just awesome! Congrats!

Search all of them through discogs. You may be able to make some if not all your money back on the turntables and mixer.

So it was legit? Nice find man, congratz and happy scratching on those technics!

This is frickin cool, seriously…not only 12’s but mixer too…and in near mint condition. FML

just kidding…there’s hope in locating those M5G’s I’ve been on the prowl about. Another set would be nice

A wise man, once said…

If you, by chance, find the above statement coming out of your mouth in the future…you’ve got my number.

(…it was a loooooong shot, but I had take it you know)

Soldier on my friend!
