A few months ago a random marketplace listing came up on a random day. I’m very rarely on FB ever other than to sell stuff on marketplace, so I got lucky…

Post was for 2 x PDX2000 MK1 which were black. I never knew they came in black so I went on a google and it came up that the black version is pretty rare and was mainly only available in Japan, so I hit dude up immediately.

Went over to his place and it was basically a crack den 😂

The decks were so rough and absolutely fucking filthy. Hazmat suit level shit.

The guy didn’t know what they were and wanted basically nothing for them, but knowing vestax parts are stupid expensive, I low balled him hard and he accepted.
In a nutshell 2 decks in rough condition for under £80. I know I’m a dick, IDGAF.

Took them home and started deep cleaning… took 2 days. Man… the filth 🤮

Opened them up and everything was actually in very good condition, so what to do…

Bonus- they have sequential serial numbers!

Started searching for someone to either paint or hydrodip them and came across a post on here from a few years back by a guy who hydrodipped his. Not my style but they came out really sweet. He shared the details (Hydrov8), and I got in touch with the dipper.

The guy who dips is also a paint tech and had the original colour RAL9011, so I decided to get them redone as original but with a clear coat to protect them.

Dude did an amazing job and I got them back last week.

Bought a set of “angel eye” headlight mods from Temu and did the “Halo” modification, as well as blacked out the platter, tonearm, buttons and ring around the tonearm in gunmetal.

They came out pretty dope!

Photos are the restoration till today.
For some reason can’t add the videos from the original listing with the photos.

Fuckin’ stoked to have brought them back to life.
