I used to have a Vestax PMC 005a MKII... and i liked it... the x fader was super super smooth with a little of my secret ingredient (AD2000, a lubricant made for heavy machinery)... never bleeded after i put the ad2000 in it and stayed real smooth... I also liked the 4 line ins... not to mention the flashformers.. they were COOL!...
the downsides were the soft plastic casing, crackeed too easily around the fader, and the cut in was horrible of course...
