Handbag's setup

Handbag's setup
Posted on: 31.08.2013 by Alphonse Hack
Home setup




What you can't see.
Traktor Audio 10
Peavey GPS 900 Amp
2 X Peavey Bins 15" with horns
Apple airport express (so I can use the system from my phone remotely)
The 1200's have had the click removed and quartz lock disabled as a personal preference.

Here's the prototype with the macbook hooked up and my old PMC 25

Now with the new lid before the veneer is applied. Might be waiting a while though as it seems the type I want is out of stock in NZ

Yeah it's probably not the most ergonomically efficient setup but I don't (read can't) scratch so it works fine for me. This really is more a piece of furniture than an optimum dj set up. Although it gets a lot of use.

I purchased a couple of X1's. Therefor having to extend the tray.

Heres a pic of the progress thus far

I saw Panotaker post a link that explained the mod quite well. I actually didn't do the mod myself. I know a guy that fixes turntables all the time and has done the mod hundreds of time so I let got him do it rather than me blundering around with the soldering iron.

I've found it makes the platter more sensitive to dragging or twisting the spindle. I feel it's easier to nudge your track into time like this. I also got rid of the click. The downside.... no quartz lock light

Forget the DJ setup. I love that Aarnio's chair!



Not really underestimating your setup. It's really nice and I have that mixer too.

The mod only requires a small pair of side cutters, a phillips screw driver, and a piece of electrical tape. You only need a soldering iron to undo the mod incase you don't like it. Taking the ball bearing out of the pitch control is more complicated. Personally, I like the click, so I don't mess with the pitch control on my tables. The mod is explained in detail in the link I posted. It also explains what the mod does. If you have any questions about it, just ask. I don't talk about removing the ball bearing out of the pitch control. That is a different mod all together.

Thanks for all the positive responses. It was quite an effort to build and meant to go with the house and furniture. Building a cabinet for my records at present to match.

Nice Table and Mixer. Extra points for doing the quartz lock mod to the 1200's. You must be an old skool DJ. If anybody is interested in the quartz lock mod, you can read all about it in my article here: http://www.new-line.nl/?i=62

The mixer is a Vestax PMC 46 mk2. I actually found it brand new a few months back with was amazing and it completely suited the table which was built for a PMC 25 originally.

I built the table myself. I was trying to give it a retro 60's 70,s feel. It's MDF with a Mahogany veneer which is glued on.

Heres a pic from the the other side where you can see the legs.

Both sides have doors that open in. The Amp takes up most of the closer leg. The other I use for storage.

Nice, clean and a rotary vestax FTW!!! That table is sick. Did you make that yourself or have it made?
