    I kid you not, this has been my bedroom setup for a decade now. Mine was even an open box Guitar Center floor model of the shit, I think it was $65 plus tax. I just saw the carts were unused on it, and figured that was a decent price just for the carts - and the one turntable that was dinged up (and had a bent tonearm it turned out) I brought back 2 days later and swapped for a brand new one. the crossfade on that numark mixer has been blown out since like 9 months after I bought it. an audiophile I am not.

    What you probably thought of was more like this...Austria holdin' it down with DJ schools since 1969...

    Hi. Sorry to threadjack. SOI's post reminded me... What's the best quick fix for a finicky crossfader? Canned Air? De-Ox-It? Thanks in advance.

    canned air helps my busted up pioneer. i never tried fusking w/ any 99.9 rubbing alcohol or anything like that though - i'd google that first before i tried it.

    usually i'll open up and pop the thing out, spray the shit out of it w/ some compressed air, then reassemble.

    although eventually you're just going to have to break down and buy a replacement crossfader.

    GDR was holding it down. DJing and dialectics.

    Clipper Oil is (in my experience) the absolute best for a bleeding or finicky crossfader. If you have a set of clippers at your house, you probably have that shit somewhere in there.

    Should you go to DJ school?

    Only after first attending hip-hop hand-signing school.

    For instance, if you can't spell BLOOD with your fingers against your chest, you probably can't do a crab nebula scratch.

    BABY STEPS.

    Ha.....

    In my private mind garden imma Crip. And fake Crip-Walk when no one is looking. Spellin' my name on the wood floor.

    I really wouldnt mind getting a quick "lesson" on the tech aspects. Turntable maintenance, needle manangement, etc.
