mischief Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Garrards/ BSR ... classic 70s kit . What they are for people over 70 to use so they have handrails for support Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest dawsons Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 What they are for people over 70 to use so they have handrails for support The handrails are actually for carrying the decks while putting them back into the purple carrycase. the decks are BSR although they did use Garrards as well. Chisser actually still uses a citronic twin deck at Soul at Joe's GAZZA Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

FrankM Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Dawson and Haydn are correct in ID'ing a Citronic Hawaii with BSR decks. I used one with Garrard SP25 decks and Stanton 500 carts. Late seventies decks that were the Mobile standard till Technics took over. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

He will know where the original decks ended up cos they were'nt destroyed in the fire. No thoughts about conning the insurance company in them day's.
