I saw that at a pawn shop a few weeks ago for like $10. I almost got it just for show, but i'm already a pack-rat and don't need another thing taking up space.

Mine was this one from Radio Shack, back then it was like $89.99, if you were DJ'ing in the 80's, then you know this one was the sh*t! The lighted VU meters were tight haha!

The first picture was my first mixer. I eventually upgraded to one with a crossfader a year later.

Gemini PMX-7

cgi.ebay.com
(just a picture reference, not my auction)

This puny thing sat between 2 Belt Drive Gemini BD-10's. I learned how to crab scratch (required ghetto rigging due to budget and no curve adjustment) on this after watching Vestax Turntable Mechanic Workshop Video VHS tape that came with my vestax PDT-5000's.

Gemini PMX-15 I think. Fader was bleeding out of the box...
jimson 3:31 PM - 12 November, 2007
my first mixer was a rodec mx-180
Nicky Blunt 3:59 PM - 12 November, 2007
gemini skratchmaster!

Peice of shit with a crap crossfade!

Spent more on wd40 for the faders than the mixer itself!!!

I had the same mixer except mine had the smapler built in. I got mine back in 97 and my stupid ass paid $250 for it. Only if I knew then what I know now about dj equipment . . . I'd would have saved alot of money

Gemini Scratchmaster...1994

Damn.. I dont even remember if I sold that thing or not??
allenbina 10:46 PM - 15 November, 2007
for a few days i had an insanely shitty mixer from some whak store in la that scammed me out of some cash, that I eventually got back after threatening to throw a brick through their window. it was a stanton and it didnt even have any way to check to see if i was peaking.

I upgraded to this!

cgi.ebay.com
numark dm1001 x

and then this

www.skratchworx.com
numark ppd 01
which served me well until i the fader started bleeding and sticking, and scratching with it was impossible. the effects were also completely useless.

then a ttm 56
