Oh crap. I forgot to update this thread with pics/my impressions. I've been using the 07 pro for months now, and I love it. I'll get into the details when I get a chance to take pics.

I've been using my 07 pro for just over a decade now
I'm sure if I would've treated the thing nicer lugging it around it would be in better condition, but she still rocks out pretty hard

However I'm saving up for one of these bad boys:

Really tight faders for scratching, well put together, and the scratch live controllers built in with onboard fx are just sick so f***ing fun to play out

Hows the mixer going Xell?

Once I've sorted my needles out a new mixer will be next on the agenda but its not urgent.

On my current mixer if I'm doing like crabs and flares and crazy multi click cuts the crossfader nob rises up and comes close to coming off.

I dont want to glue it on coz then I wont be able to open up my mixer.
Its a penny and giles fader.

Anything I can do?

also, Vestax stopped making the 07 well before they got bought out. it's VERY solidly built to last.

on the real, I can't speak for how "gently" that 07 was used, but I've had my 07 for 5 years now, and I love that beast. It's all analog, got 3 band eq, session in, 2 mic channels, 1/4" and RCA master out... basically, whether you wanna DJ for an MC, work with another DJ (and his setup without using one of your line channels), or be able to have a PA and near-field monitor setup; and you don't wanna jump up to a Rane or Allen and Heath, the 07 is the one to get.

Thanks for the major help guys. I didn't know about the whole VCA thing....thanks for the heads up birdflu.

Also, I found a gently used 07pro going for 175, should I take the deal? Is there anything I need to know about construction flaws like the 05proiii VGA?
