I want to customise my 1200's,
Has anyone done that. Where you get blue lights inside?
I know you can get kits, but I want to do it myself.
Does anyone know if the bulbs in the strobe are just normal LED's.
I want orange ones.

And I want to fit straight tone arms on. I know someone has done this, you need to buy a Stanton replacement (just about the same size with same cart connection)

Straight arms are Baad, you get hardly any skippage.

Not impressed with the Mach 3 Technics. It's no worse, but hardly any better than the older models, which have hardly changed in 15 years.

I know if it's not broke don't fix it.

Vestax have really taken the lead with the whole Dj thing that Technics started by accident.

They should be top of the pile, with the amount of decks they sell every year.

I still love my Technics tho.

i tried replacing a knackered bulb in my 1210 lamp once. a found a "how to replace a knackered bulb in your 1210" type doc on the net which said it should take no more than 15mins.











about 2 hours later i gave up :down:










theres one cuntin' screw thats real awkward and tighter than a nats chuff.

Think them blue LEDs n strobes look fuckin well nice!

Much more interesting than the boring red ones they all come with ... Why red anyway?


Right ... Where's me soldering iron?
