Just Technics
Fake Technics 1200s EXPOSED!
Classic Technics SL-1200 Mk2, M3D and Mk5 turntables have been discontinued over a decade ago. Since then, mint used examples have rocketed in price. In addition, the increasing scarcity of genuine spare parts has led to some unscrupulous sellers to combine bits of different models together into “frankendecks,” which are designed to fool potential buyers.
In the new episode of Beatsource Tech, Mojaxx speaks to Jay from Just Technics in the UK, who has a series of videos where he helps DJs spot the potential red flags when shopping for a used 1200 or 1210.
Watch the video above.
