Advantages: Great deck.

Disadvantages: Pricey to buy

These little darlings were banging out tunes to dancefloors when people were raving with White gloves and a whistle in their mouths.
In fact these decks were where most of the big name DJs would have cut their vinyl teeth. Yes the SL1200 would now look decidedly more at home in someones house or flat due to their Shiny aluminium look. The shiny look as replace the black metal look in home Hi Fi so dig out your 1200s and get the parties going again.
There is very little difference between the 1200 and the 1210 other than the colour. Both are direct Drive masterpieces of mixing engineering. Technics buit their legendary name in the club world on the back of these decks while the 1210 has taken it to new heights.
Both set ups have a pitch control of +8/-8 and are instant Start/Stop so pick up time is nil.
Great for the beginner and professional alike, Its just a shame they dont come in Aluminium finish anymore!!!!
