Technics SL-1200 RIP
Panasonic-Technics, produttore dei celeberrimi giradischi Technics SL-1200 (e 1210) ha annunciato che dal febbraio 2010 cesserà la produzione dei suddetti giradischi (fra l’altro ho letto sulla 1200 FAQ di hyperreal.org che tuttora vengono assemblati a mano). Dopo 35 anni di gloria il 1200 è arrivato al capolinea. Riposa In Pace 1200… lunga vita al 1200.

Technics To Cease Production Of Iconic 1200 / 1210 Turntable Series
No, say it ain’t so!! It’s been announced by Panasonic, manufacturer
of Technics 1200 / 1210 turntables, that it will cease production of
the iconic turntable series. As a staple in the development of club
music for 35 years the Technics turntable has been one of the most
important tools for DJs from house to hip-hop. A decline in sales has
been cited as the reason behind this momentousness decision, which goes
into effect as of February 2010. A sad day indeed. R.I.P Technics, long
live Technics…
