That's weird.. You can still buy them from the panasonic website. I was looking at them last night.

All of the product pages I can see on Panasonic.com just say "available at your local retailer". I don't see any way to actually buy one on there.

Technics 1200's are built like tanks. If you're using it to just listen to music and not to DJ, one that is brand new could possibly outlive you. I owned a pair for dj'ing for almost 10 years. During that time they probably got used about 4-10 hours a week, and I never had to repair one. It's the only brand I would trust buying used, and you could probably find one in good shape for a reasonable price.

Whatever you decide on, try to get one that has a standard removable cartridge needle and an adjustable weighted tone arm. That way you can get a good quality needle and it can be balanced properly. As mentioned earlier, if you're willing to spend the extra money, get a direct drive table rather than a belt drive. I sold my tech's last year and have been using a plain jane player for the time being. I think I want to get one of Gramma's players. They look sexy as hell.

Shure makes really good needles as does Ortofon. Buy a brand new needle and make sure it's balanced properly to make your vinyl last longer. I can help you with that if I happen to be in town.

I should point out that the Debut III's are belt drives. Honestly though I feel like that accounts for part of the sexy.

Oh.. You're right. I never actually clicked the 'buy' button

There appear to be some for sale on kijiji right now, one guy selling a pair for $750, another selling a pair for $900 with cases. (both ex-DJs it would seem)

I think I found the pairs you are talking about.. What's up with that thing in the middle? I'm sure it has something to do with DJ'ing, but is it attached? And the one pair doesn't even look like it has arms.

He just showed a picture of his complete setup, but it sounds like he's only selling the turntables.

Mine was around $200 used and it was made in 2005 I think. The Guitar Center still had some new ones in stock when I looked.

You should see it in person. We used to sit outside the storefront and drool about that thing.

Anyone used any of the direct-drive numark turntables? They seem to be relatively easy to get a hold of...

I was looking at the TT 200. Axe Music has them in stock, as do several online retailers.

I've heard they're fine from a dj standpoint. It will definitely be more than enough for what you're looking for in a table. Now you just need to pick out a good amp and needle.

I'm taking a look at a used Tech 12 tomorrow. Owner claims it was bought new in 09, asking quite a reasonable price, so going with cash in hand hoping it's as claimed. If that pans out, it's time to go shopping for the rest of the kit.
