what regular check ups do u do to youre tables and mixer to make sure they stay in good shape?

Turntables...I just take the thing apart (not the actual mechanism that runs it, just the easy to take off things), clean everything, make sure there isn't half of a record stuck in some crack. Then, before finishing the turntables, I go onto the mixer.

Once again, I make sure everythings clean. Then, I tweak all the knobs, slides, etc to make sure everything moving smoothlty, then I play something through it at max volume (well, as high as I can and not damage anything ). While doing this I basically give the thing a good work out and listen closely for cracks, distortion, pops, and make sure everything checks out.

I usually do all of this before every set I do.
