I don't know of any quality mixers for under $100, I would watch eBay, and you might luck out. Now if you are willing to spend up to $200 American Audio, has a few good scratch mixers available. As far as the QFO price, I have no ideal, I would tend to think $500++++. There a couple of tricks available to help needles stop skipping during scratch sessions, but I know of nothing to stabalize a cheap platter.

dass cold man

DJ Skratch... Just to let you know this is an American Audio forum, and it's fair that American Audio talks about American Audio products. It's best that American Audio does not talk about other products in this forum simply because American Audio wouldn't want to give you the wrong information about other products that they are not familair with.

as far as the QFO goes.. that will run close to $2000 a piece. And only 500 units will be made worldwide, and the request list is probably already full for every single one of them. So i don't think you'll be getting one anytime soon since your looking for a mixer that is around the price range of $80.

American Audio makes great quality mixers for an excellent price.. please do some research on the mixer line that they have, and USE the search feature on this forum. Stevie Ray had some good advice for you as well.. you should use it.

HATE TO SAY THIS BUT RADIO SHACK MIXERS PUT ION TO SHAME. as for a cheap mixer search on ebay (as stevie said) you will find some good deals on there HELL i had a almost brand new... cm-100 by a different company im not allowed to say, and i ended up getting freakin 30 bucks for it! so there was 200 beans down the drain. so if you can find a dumbarse like myself selling there mixers you can probabbly get a really good deal. if i knew you were lookin i would of have sold you my cm-100 for a really good deal. I like to help out the new guys and give them good deals. Better then seein some old guy gettin a one hell of a deal for my stuff and seein it at your local fleamarket for tripple the price he bought it for!
