Apologize if it's been posted but I didn't see it in MD.

Even though I do digital DJing as a hobby, this is still pretty sad news. Really shocked to hear it, as Technics were responsible for driving the whole development of the art of DJing. First the Walkman, now this...

I've heard this story reported at least once before, and it turned out to be wrong.

Also, Technics are famously invincible, so you'll still be able to buy them second hand for a while yet.

friend told me the same thing ... but I can attest that none of their major distributors have them on stock...

best way to go now is online ... but since the word has spread around they might sell them very pricey like for 1k vs 550 $ that I got them for .

It's a single model, the MK6. Let's wait to see what becomes of the rest before we declare the end of the world.

go on ebay there are good prices and a lot of them. way better than at online retailers.

does this mean that in a few years if my sl1200s need repair ill have to spend a fortune?

i know people are stocking up on parts, my friend just sold a broken sl1200mk2 for 250$

Glad I've got my 1200 MK5s. I will cherish them always.

this is old

I don't believe it. The article from Tokyo Reporter is way too vague. They can't end the whole Technics TT business, not yet at least, no fucking way.
