    2 1200's for DJing and mixing.
    Thorens for listening
    Two portables for the record show and remote listening.
    And a technics I picked up at a garage sale because my friends are always bugging me for TTs.

    Seems about right.

    I own about 800 at the moment. They're all in the showroom down at Skel's Hi-Fi.
    Mid-week I am expecting to add another 30 to that total.

    Waiting on a shipment from some dudes in Finland who have a radical new design based in non-vibrating paper-mache casing and cunningly positioned short-range air jets that allow the vinyl to hover in mid air and not touch any solid surface.

    The real USP though is the tone arm, which is made out of a sacred and secret Finnish wood that was used by Druids and them for the divination of water back in the day. This will be of interest to many board members as they claim that said tonearm will automatically seek out the most Liquid Funk it can find in any record and play it ad nauseum.

    b/w

    Just the one, a Sony. I find it does what's required, plays one track at a time. I can't imagine ever needing two.

    Math-wise? No.

    I own 4. Two Technic MK-2s (from teh DJ days), one in the living room, one in my fiance's mom's basement with my travel coffin. The fiance's is on top of the fridge for kitchen listening, and the Vestax portable is cooling out with the records waiting to come off the bench during power outage and field trips.

    We each have 4 Technics for a total of 8, then a B&O in the living room.
    3 vintage Portables, a newer Numark portable, and 2 random non-direct drive turntables.
    15 grand total.

    At least 6 (if you count the Big Bird and the trashy looking 1200 that may only be good as spare parts for the other 2) but probably less than 10?

    I like the honesty about the broken turntables. One of my portables is broken and one of the belt drives has no belt.

    My GP-3 is busted. I accidentally plugged it into a 220 wall socket in Colombia and it fried my speaker. They mostly have 110 there, but all their Air Conditioner's run off of 220 so they have one 220 socket in each hotel room. Looking for a new speaker still but have been slacking on it since I have been using the Crosley Revolution in its stead. It actually works totally fine but the speaker is super quiet.

    I need to just get rid of them since they are not just broken belt issues and need more work than they are worth. They will probably remain in my house until I move.

    3 CDJs, but only a 2 channel mixer WTF so I have to run one through the phono. Does anyone know how to make the volume levels closer together? Should I just burn that CD quieter?
