We're always looking for old mixtapes. We don't care if they were made by a big-name dj or not. In fact, it'd be nice to hear what kids were doing in their bedroom studios back in the 90s. We're also interested in dj equipment modifications if you've come up with something tight.

Who is building a turntable?

UPDATE: An adventurous chap down in Texas was the lucky recipient of the turntable parts listed below. Hopefully he'll be able to do something with all of it and report back!

What's that? You're building a frankenstein turntable? You need some innards? Snap! I have some. I just tore apart a Numark TT200, and would like to give someone the guts. I bought it used from some dude online because I needed the tonearm, but the rest has just been sitting here. I also stole the feet for my Vestax PDX-2000 foot mod, so I can't give you those. Anyways, here are some pics of what I have to offer:

A platter (shit, this thing costs flipping $50 through Numark, how about I sell it to you for free?)

The power transformer, power switch, back panel (with RCA inputs) and some other board (they don't even sell these gems on the Numark website -- well, the power transformer they do). Does zero dollars sound reasonable?

Here are the pitch slider and the bpm button modules. I even have the microscopic screws that hold them in place.

You're going to need start/stop/reverse buttons -- I got you.

Here is the control assembly board. Somehow it doesn't match the replacement found on the Numark site for this turntable, but this is what was in mine. Yeah, I cut one of the ground wires in the middle -- just fix that shit.

Finally, you probably want some spinning thing to put the platter on. Here's the motor assembly ($125 on Numark's website). Again, I'm not sure how well any of this stuff works, so I'll give it to you for free.

So that's it. Post a comment if you want to claim this stuff. I would just ask that you pay shipping.
