Jerker....Again and again!!

Skimmed the whole thread and I'm amazed the 2nd pic in the 1st post didn't generate more questions/curiosity. Are you actually doing any music production with that old arcade box? (I'm really interested in the design of new interfaces and processes for music interactivity/creativity/entertainment.) Are you manipulating clips with those controls, or is it just a MAME box with some Ableton wallpaper on the front.

I'm just now coming up on this Jerker desk - looks the bomb - looking to save space

anywayz

if I got this right - you buy the desk, then the add own shelves...seems a bit expensive?

but if can find a desk and shelves on CL I'm cool right?

thanks

yeah

the shelves are $30 a piece (2nd top and swingouts)

by default you get the desk and one top shelf

This thread inspired me

Cool shit happens when you let it, know what I mean

Not 100% sure on current prices but my setup was $99 for main desk plus top shelf (now I think it's $129), Also have 4 accessory swivel shelves on mine which were $10 each (X4=$40) Last month by me the shelves were $20. Extended top shelf Was $30 and I think it still is $30.

So the total for my desk was $170
I think the current price fo the same setup is $239

(PS, I doo have a third extended shelf pictured but I never use it so I didn't include it in the price.)

The swivel shelves design has changed slightly but I think they can still hold 65lbs each.... I highly reccomend you get them. I love being able to just swivel my monitors in to get my sweetspot and mix, then just swing em back out to fill the room properly for everyone else.

damn, I just paid $90 for a used Jerker with no extras. luckily I already had two swivel shelves from a previous Jerker... but you really scored. Nice.

I've owned the Jerker desk for about 5 years now. It's without a doubt the best and most versatile desk I've ever owned - great for monitors on the swivel sides, so I can position the sweet spot as needed. The side panels hold up to 50 lbs. Plus you can add more for about $10 each. The desk is about $90 at Ikea. Well worth it.

The extended shelves are the same as the second long shelf that comes with the jerker with extensions on the vertical rail. Look at a side angle of my pics and you will notice the top 12 inches of the vertical support is added on.... and the ext shelves have my computer, 3 monitors, EZBus mixer and the top one just has my software boxes and blank cd's... Those are the extended shelves

if you rotate your decks 90 degrees 2 decks with a 19" mixer will fit across the desk

djadonis206 · Post by **djadonis206** » Thu Sep 21, 2006 6:12 am

I can see how you can put a turntable on it - it's pretty sturdy

just swooped it - now I gotta put it together

2 swivels
1 extra extension

$75 - proper

Since you bought it used, it may not have the instructions, MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE STABLIZER BAR/BRACKET ON (Should be about 1 to 1 1/2 foot from the bottom)!!!, if not you will be very unstable. and don't over-tighten to the point that the metal buckles.... And take pics!

Last minute guy goes

"Oh wait, I have something for you...THE INSTRUCTIONS!"

I'm money

thanks for the tip though - he's already put the littlel metal bars under the table top and shelves so - it's gonna take 2 to do this

peace
