Thought you guys and girls out there might find this interesting. Straight from the service archives @ DJPA... It's the Operation Manual for the Technics SL-1200MK4 turntable (it's in Japanese). Of course, this turntable is not available here in the U.S., but if your in Japan, or one of the other lucky Asian countries, you can pick up this baby for a mere US$600 or so. I've seen a pair on ebay, and they sold for about $400, used. Which is actually a good price for something that is so hard to find. It's nothing fantastically special, but it does have the following unique features...

- 78 RPM
(we can mod your MK2, MK3, MK5s with this feature - but it's costly)
- RCA Female Connection Block
(we can mod your MK2, MK3, MK5 with this feature)
- Titanium Tonearm with OFC (oxygen free wire)
(we can do this too!)




Released in 1996, it's been doing ok in the Asian markets. But not so good that it warrants a worldwide release. I just wish they would include that RCA Female Connection block on all of their models! Would make life sooo much easier for us DJs on the road!

FACT: The famed Technics SL1200MK2 has sold over 3,000,000 units worldwide since it's release to the market in 1978! That's insane! No other turntable manufacturer even comes close!

So it seems all is well here @ DJPROLAB central.

Just got this news in... here are some pictures of the newly released Technics SL1200MK6 and SL1210MK6 turntables. In addition, here is the OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE as well (btw, it's in Japanese).

Only released in Japan so far, but plans for a U.S. and European debut are in the works...


Ooh, here's the SL1200MK6K1 - limited to only 1000

(1)	“Original gold disk” Commemorating series birth 35th anniversary, it is the limited gold disk which it drew up. To use the high-class frame, in addition because also the wall-mounted metallic parts and the stand have done bundled, as an interior of the room you can utilize.
(2)	“Specially made booklet” Also history and one & the only technology etc which of the SL-1200 series which is supported from DJ of the world is superior are detailed introduction. In addition also interview and the like to the DJ champion of the world was published, the standing matter booklet of all the page 55 luxurious hardcover specifications.

============


and just for kicks, here's the SL1200MK4 edition. It features a 78RPM feature, as well as detachable RCA cables! (Not sure why the RCA feature wasn't transfered over to the SL1200MK5 turntables, would have been great)...




You know you want one!

On to other news. We are having some issues with back order parts, but nothing major. Most of it is on the manufacturing side, and we can't do anything about it. We are working to try and get our web site to reflect current inventory levels in our shop, however, it is very hard especially for small companies like ours. The only thing we can do is try and get anything that has sold out or is on back order, back in stock as quickly as possible. Also, since our store, the service center, as well as the online shops all share the same inventory, we might have 10 quantity of a particular item in the morning, then by close, the part is sold out! So, it can get frustrating, and believe me, the last thing we want to do is frustrate customers who ordered a part and expect it to ship out immediately, instead of waiting for it to come back in stock. But we are looking for ways to keep things as updated as possible. Or at least notify you of the back order delay in a timely manner.

In addition, it seems parts for the SL1200MK2 series turntable are slowly being discontinued. It seems they are starting with the major electrical components such as the circuit boards and the IC's (Integrated Circuits), which are pretty much the brains of this turntable. There are 3 major IC's on the main board, and 1 of them has been discontinued with no alternative replacement. What does this mean for you? Well, if you have a Technics Turntable, model SL1200MK2 or SL1210MK2 and you need IC201, tough luck. It seems it is part of a global plan to slowly phase out the MK2 and MK5 turntables and get us to update to the M5G and possibly the newly released MK6 turntables. All of the PC Boards were discontinued a little over a year ago (ROHS compliance), and slowly more major components were being discontinued.

There are also some other parts which are being discontinued as well. Here is the list thus far (all major components!)...

(PCB = Printed Circuit Board)
PCB - Main Drive Board - (we can still get these, if you want, but they are costly @ $250+)
PCB - RCA / Tonearm Section - (we have an alternative for this)
PCB - 33 / 45 / Start / Stop Operation
PCB - Strobe Illuminator
PCB - Pitch Control
IC302-MN4011B - NAND Gate, IC
D1-SVDS1RBA40 - Diode / Rectifier

We'll keep you updated on other parts as they become unavailable.

- T.O.
