I remember hearing from a old DJ a long time ago that these tables locked the speed dead-on, compared the the analog-pitched 1200s which would never lock-on but tend to oscillate ever so slightly.

I don't know about that model with pitch display, but most all devices that need to keep particular speeds (such as turntables and pitch) will always have minute slight waverings due to how well or poorly the power source is conditionned to work the motor that changes the speed. after all... the standard 60Hz hum found in AC power is ever so easy to find its way into recordings.

precisely why the +/-16% on a m5g is crap. also precisely why vestax decks kick the shit out of them even at +50%, you still have +/-10% on the pitch fader giving you exactly the same precision.

That would be LED not LCD (light emiting diode, not liquid crystal display.

Bar that, very interesting. I've got a set of 1210mk2's and they rock even though are about 10-15 years old.

I've got M5G tsa fuckin pimp daddy of all decks, it just feels fuckin good to have it that's it

There's one 1200 you forgot to mention, the SL-1200LTD. It's very simular to the sl-1200mk2 except for the pitch reset button like the m3d. Unlike everyone's belief that it's identical to the m3d,it's not. It shares the same pitch fader, power switch, and hinged dustcover as the mk2, thus it has a click at the 0%. The SL-1200LTD was produced in numbers of 10,000 worldwide and shares 24k gold hardware like the SL-1200GLD.
