couple of questions regarding turntables and second hand vinyl

1. im in the look for a decent turntable with pitch, direct driven and good pick up, but not necessarily a sl1210 as im not going to dj. anyone suggestions?

2. im in the look for huge collections of second hand 90s house vinyls. where the hell should i look for these?

You'll find the occasional lot of decent wax on eBay. Aside from that, Craigslist, Kijiji and message boards. On Discogs records are sold individually, but if you buy a large batch from one seller, you have a better chance of being able to negotiate the price.

Is Technics still kicking or are current ones being sold the last of their stock? BTW are you talking about the 1210M5G with the pretty sparkly finish and 16% pitch range?

it appears that they were officially discontinued not real long ago.
The biggest issue from Panasonics point of view didn't appear so much lack of sales(at least that's not the excuse they used) but more issues with suppliers and having a heard time sourcing certain components as well as playing it safe before things get worse and more difficult for them.

An electronic item that's been produced since the early 70s is bound to be discontinued before of production issues one day or another.

WTF? You sure about this? I've only heard about the two bogus news that they're getting discontinued and Panasonic denied both. I can't see them completely discontinuing the whole SL1210/1200 line yet at least.

No, a rumour is something that's unconfirmed.

Closest to you Palm, is probably Thomann - I'm sure they ship to the Norsk.

But call them, don't go off their list prices and try to beat them down.

Posted by Zak McKracken on Apr-24-2011 02:22:

thanks Rann, its 740EUR on thomann, you think i could get a better price calling them? with shipping and all its still pretty expensive... i might just give em a call but i have some second hand options at hand atm. ill let you know when ive put together this shit. byeing about 500 90s vinyls any day now lol, it will be aweomse! omg i love edm rofl. and i just cant stand mp3, computers etc etc. no matter how drunk i am im still managing to put on a vinyl. but computers are fucking boring when drunk...

So fucking true. I was pretty hammered the other night and even though I was losing the ability to stand up straight (or even talk), I could still put on the old vinyl and mix. Just nothing like the feel.

And yes, give Thomann a call (try not to be drunk at that time though) and tell them you've found them cheaper at some other local seller etc.

EDIT: fuck me, just tried to find a DJ equipment seller for you in Norway and there basically aren't any.

Posted by Zak McKracken on Apr-24-2011 09:03:

theres a few used to sell 1210s: ljudia and filtermusic, ive called both and they both say the same: that technics are out of production, the whole serie, not only the mk5 as some people seems to believe.

Posted by Zak McKracken on Apr-24-2011 23:58:

they all got some mk2s tonight and we are gonna have a party over here.

Posted by orTof�nChiLd on Apr-25-2011 00:06:

for your turntables make sure you get some nice ortofon needles to go with your techs

Posted by Zak McKracken on Apr-25-2011 00:10:

no im getting some serious stuff. gonna replace the whole arm and shit with some expensive shit. Rega stuff or something. well the needles might actually be ortofon after all but not the dj types. Those are way overpriced considering the shitty sound from them.
