Id you can get the parts - HUGE.
If you can't, then, it could be the first exhibit to grace your museum display!

That would be a relief to a lot of people including sumeetbagade, anm and lot of other Technics owners!

guys, keep spinnin.... I know stevieboy, mahi, shaizada and I will!

Its a groovier world with vinyl... vinyl is a state of being, not a passing fad.... it has seen itself forge ahead despite tape, cd and mp3!

Many of us wouldn't have our music any other way - ever!

sad day, and it's going to push up the prices of 1200s, just when i was thinking of getting one. Guess i'll save my pennies for a Garrard 301 or 401.
