The best laid schemes of mice and men............

And we all know the rest. :( :D :D I said my next expenditure would be the top grade Radio mic, and then lights. With an upmarket wedding to stand in for Twinspin on, I went to get an LED barrel, and was seduced by the LED Panel at the side of it! :eek: The good news is that I now know what I want. This was further complicated by unexpectedly winning a brand new Spin3 on Ebay, so now I will have to learn something about the dark arts of DMX!! Thirty five years in this game, and I find I still know nothing!! :bang: :bang: :D :D
Watch this space for anguished pleas for help! Tom, I know you are/were running Spin3's so I live in hope. ;)

Yes, i bought a "nearly new" dual cd player off ebay.
When it came it was extremely tatty and I barely got through one gig with it as the CD's just jumped all the time. I tried cleaning the lasers but that made no difference. Silly me didnt try it until the ebay warranty time was up.

So I just sold it back on ebay at a loss stating it had jumped on CD tracks on both drives.

So Iwent out and bought a brand new one for little more money than I spent on the duff one.

Bought a second hand rope light and half the lamps were off.
With the refund money I bought 2 brand new ones !

I have bought new stuff off ebay and in general the lights are fine.
However, the two amps I bought were simply not the wattage rating claimed by the seller. So I stripped the amps out and put my own designs inside them.


ebay can be ok but you to be very careful who you buy from.

Now he tells me! :bang: I suspect your target price might have been more than I paid for this one, I already have an old one, and am about to bid on one which I may be able to repair.

Tom, I did indeed mean you, and may yet contact you for information in joining them up. :D

So some other poor sucker gets lumbered with a pile of crap. :sj:

At least you said it was faulty. It's good to know there are still some decent people out there.

Im actually glad that im working my way towards a digital system. I have been a CD DJ for a long time. Now i feel its time to move with the times and go completely digital.

It was so much easier on sat night. Not looking through cd wallets for every track.
