  While the SL-1200 was not the first direct drive turntable (the Panasonic SP-10 deserves that honor), I remember when it first came out. I was in the Marines, and they hit the company stores out in the village outside of the base gates in Okinawa. It sold like hotcakes, and frankly, I think that it remains one of the best turntables ever made. You can spend thousands of dollars on a turntable, but most people would never hear the difference between the most expensive turntables made and the original SL-1200. (The maintence of belt drive was easy, but the main limit of the design was "wow and flutter, which was the consequnce of the belt having the tendency to creep on the platter, and elastically springing on in the span between the motor pully and the platter.)

  I’m still playing pretty much every day, my SL-1210 Mk2 which is now 38 years old and still works perfectly. It has to be one of the best pieces of consumer electronics ever made. I’m currently saving up for a 1200G and my 1210 Mk2 will be going to a friend who can’t wait to get his hands on it.

  I got introduced to Hi-Fi thanks to my older brother and his friends. So since early childhood I have been into the electronics and still have lots of units that are going three decades plus now. All working and playing music as they should. When I moved to the states I have sold a lot of my components including 1210mkII. I haven't had a chance to buy another turntable ever since so hopefully I get my hands on one of the latest iterations of the 1200 series. I just love to blend vintage and modern audio components into an incredible Hi_Fi set up. Thanks for the great interview and info you've shared with us and thanks Technics for still being around and providing us with such a great plethora of amazing music players.

  it was the dj scene that transformed a tool into an instrument. and the survival of a few small lp pressing companies during the lp depression in europe is deeply linked to the electronic music scene, dj´s and producers during the 90s, whom had to get their promos and dubplates cut somewhere whilst big firms dumped their equipment to go all digital.
