They are a bit weird looking,apparently the qfo bit is a reference both to its UFO shape and to Qbert,as far as i know theyre not out yet,reckon Qbert is the only man with a set outside Vestax headquarters at the mo.
Pics work ok for me…looks like theres a pitch control on each side,also looks like the knobs are for eq,and again repeated on the other side…unsure of the front slider…straight arm cos apparently its much better than an s shaped one for scratching.
I have to agree that the more there is on it,the more chance it has of failing at a critical point,part of the strength of Technics is the sheer simplicity of its design.
