Technics SL-1210M5G

I have seen this new shiny 1210 availible on the Technics website. Here it is:

Has anyone used or heard anything about it? (It may be old i've been away from TA for a while!)

Been out for a bit now...

Semi glossy black w/ gold speckle finish
+-8% and 16% Pitch selection w/ 2 columns of LED on the side of th epitch slider that lights up: 2/4/6/8 or 4/8/12/16
Blue LED pop up light
6 on anti-skate
Easier to adjust break
Silver headshell

that's about all the changes from the M3Ds

my bud has 2. great decks to play on if you can afford them. and they look nice too. the blue led is pretty sweet.

m3d with a few more bells and whistlesct ... and honestly the fact that you have to buy the top model technics to get more than +/-8% pitch shift is fucking attrocious

Ah, ok. Cheers for clearing that up guys. Agreed about the pitch though Robert... someone might even be tempted to get PDX-2300's if the world wasn't pro Technics

They seem to going out the door between $500.00 - $530.00.

I bought 2 of 'em!!! finally!!! my first dex and I saved up al the cash to afford 'em!!... sweet!!!! I can't wait!!!

the extra bells & whistles on it I find are good for this price. I paid $550 US for each

If I'd live in america, I'd go for them too, but here, it's a little bit of money for a turntable...
Here, you pay 650� for one MK5...(750$). I baught myself an ST100 yesterday. It'll arrive on saturday, cant wait

I think there about �350 in the UK, so about the same in $ as the U.S.

i bought 2 1200mk2's a year ago, replaced the tonearm on one of them, and still going strong. they were 400$ a piece from musiciansfriend.com back then. Am I missing anything with 1200mk2 over something higher?
