Bought my pair of 1200s about 20 years ago (wow! - it goes fast kids) - barely used I think I paid $800 for both. Kept one cause I just like the equipment so much and I don't even spin anymore. Just a solid piece of equipment, real pro DJ gear. It's sad though - in the same way that it costs $500 or whatever it is - to go to an NFL game nowadays (which I wouldn't know anyway). Anything of real high quality has to be priced out of reach of the average person. There's always Walmart for most of us I guess. Not knocking Technics, what they say may very well be true, but I do miss the days when the best wasn't impossible to obtain for most of us. Anyway, there's ebay and the original 12s. If you're into vinyl don't even play around.
