Yeah...they sure don't build 'em like that anymore!!


Actually, yes they do. I have a Technics 1200 bought new a few years ago. They are still built completely like tanks and are one of the best deals for getting back into affordable quality vinyl playback. There's a guy in New York who fits them back up for vinyl listening rather than DJing, adds back the dust cover and sells some nice add-ons like upgraded wiring and tonearm damping.
