I had my pair of 12's since the late 80's and these are my babies. Using the 12's with final scratch, will take any DJ to the top of chain. I just can't imagine spinning without my 12's, they are old and they still run like a champ.

Accurate, High Tourque, and built like a tank. This turntable is a legend in any dj circle and when you get used to the feel it's like using an instrument. Very reliable, and a staple in any serious dj's arsenal even with the advent of the "digital" dj.

Best Uses:
Amateurs, Anyone! Even mix CDs, Home, Professionals, Recording Studio
Pros:
Clear Sound, Easy To Use, Powerful, Professional Functions, Versatile
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I love these machines. Around since the 70's, and still going strong. There is a reason folks. It's simple and durable design has helped me survive Spills, Drops, Smoke, Scratching, Mixing, and anything else you can really think of. I mean, if you tried to throw these at a wall they would probably go through they are that well built. The motor is still the most accurate in most honest opinion and the turntable tonearm is so stable. Heck you don't even need to buy CD decks cause you can use Final Scratch with this bad boy. No lie, there is a reason why these are in every club, every pro's system. (Even those dj's who endorse other decks use these!) If you are serious about spinning on 12" do yourself a favor and save to get these.
