No, say it ain’t so!! It’s been announced by Panasonic, manufacturer of Technics 1200 / 1210 turntables, that it will cease production of the iconic turntable series. As a staple in the development of club music for 35 years the Technics turntable has been one of the most important tools for DJs from house to hip-hop. A decline in sales has been cited as the reason behind this momentousness decision, which goes into effect as of February 2010. A sad day indeed. R.I.P Technics, long live Technics…

Nick,
I have set up a facebook group to show opposition to this: Save the SL 1200: stop Technics killing an icon
Its welcome to members to show their displeasure and demonstrate their creativity.
All are welcome
They’re only discontinuing the mk5! The actual 1200mk2 and 1210mk2 will be remaining in production!!!
