Chalupa Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I had one back in the day. Not exactly audiophile quality but they were/are a workhorse. http://gizmodo.com/5675818/end-of-an-era-panasonic-kills-off-technics-turntables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I can't get to the link, but the Technics SP-12 was the standard for 78 transfers for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rostasi Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 This was THE table to get for DJs - still is for some people. Good, dependable, rock solid and a real breeze to manipulate. I started using these in 1974 in radio stations and they were the club favorite in the 80's, so nearly all of us used them. I didn't actually own one until I could afford it in '92 and then I bought TWO of them with a mixer that sat in a "coffin." Sold both of them just a few years ago and used the money to buy ONE digital Stanton STR8-150 which is what I use today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Think I had one about 30 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Very surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 UPDATE: Panasonic is in fact ceasing production of the SL-1200MK6 model specifically, while other Technics turntable models will live on. Phew! Sincere apologies for the misunderstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phew! Sincere apologies for the misunderstanding. Ah ha! That makes more sense! I mean after all (cover your eyes Bev!), we are in something of a vinyl resurgence.

Shawn Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 My turntable is a Technics SL-1800mk2, no idea how old it is...I bought it used in the late 90's. It's just fine for my small LP collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
