i really would think that technics knows very well that their 1200's are the industry standard. any fool would know this let alone marketing researchers or whatever they use at matsushita. if they have discontinued them, its probably because even with all the clubs and mobile dj's and anyone else buying them, it still might not generate enough money to make it profitable for technics to keep manufacturing them. chris .-'~~~-. .'o oOOOo`. :~~~-.oOo o`. `. \ ~-. oOOo. `.; / ~.
