Vestax PMC 05a - Old School DJ Gear Review

The Vestax 05a was part of Vestax' entry level series. It hit the markets sometime between 1993 and 1995. Here is my review.
I just recently remembered, I had the Vestax PMC 05a sitting on my shelf in its original box together with the original power unit and the user manual. After posting a picture on it in the "Old School Mixers (and turntables)" group on Facebook, I decided to finally make the first review video for my Old School DJ Gear channel.
The Vestax PMC 05a is a simple two-channel DJ mixer with two phono/line inputs with line faders, a master volume, a head phone output with cue switch and cue volume fader, and a mic input with volume and tone control. On my mixer the mic made horrible cracking noises so I decided to not include a sound sample of the mic in the video.
After giving the crossfader a little maintenance, I hooked it up to my turntables and did a little drums juggle.
Stick around for more Old School DJ Gear reviews.

I never bought one of those vestax I never see some one using it in a battle oh mixing on it

It's really more about "collecting them all". These mixers were just a means to mKe DJing accessible for the brought audience.

Mine has a stiff crossfader as well! How many amps is the power adapter?

[@HipHopHeimspiel]

I will check on that for you.

I was always curious about this mixer, wonder if a fader from an 05 pro ii would work? And what records were you juggling with by the way?

The records are called "Ultimate Drums".
