That's cool bro!!! I bought my first pair of 1200MK2's in 1989 and they were stolen in 1993. I purchased another pair in 1993 for $750 and I still have them now and play them everyday. I have never had a problem or had them serviced and they look and play like new.
That's a beautiful collection you have there, i sold mine 20 years ago because i was moving into a smaller house, hundreds of vinyl aswell its still my biggest regret. The mk2 is just on another level and an absolute pleasure to mix with.
Brian, this video touch me a lot! I was a DJ when those pick ups where the best of what we could get. I never had a chance to play with it when I was young, but I know how much love we get from these things.....When I was teenager in Brazil, I had to deal with two 3 in one sound system, believe or not I miss them. Every hour I was sweating over it was a pleasurable time.
Life is short, I'm in my 40's now, but still in love with those turn tables. I'll have them soon.....
Thank you
It’s never too late I understand the feeling. Right now I have about 10 of these. 4 of them are in near mint condition. The other ones are used but still working perfectly fine. Thx for sharing
Them two your friend passed down to you are priceless!
These are my all time favorite table to use. I use them deejaying live events, and on the air!
Great to hear about and see these beauties. Thank you for sharing the stories. Glad you are doing well brother!
Beautiful collection/story. Thanks for posting.
I feel the same way about my 1200’s I sold my first set back in the days and regretted it till I picked up another set now I’ll never be without myTechnics thx for the share! #technics1200 #neverdie ✊🏽
Started on a pair of American DJ Belt driven decks back in 98' that was a miserable experience LOL
Now i have a pair of MK2's and MK5's. One for home, one for the road and i'll take them to my grave.
They are the best. Had many a happy time using them while on the mix SL1200MK2 & 1210MK2.
Great video...awesome collection,I had to also sell my first set of 1200 s years back and it been eating me up ever since,but luckily one of my old dj buddies I worked clubs with sold me his old set and I’m working on restoring them and gonna buy more down the road and I will never sell them..old D.J .s RULE,,,,,
Cool gear and great stories!
Sitting here watching with my wife, and when you said you pawned your first set of 12's, my wife chuckled, looked at me, then said: "What do you know about that?" I bought my 12's brand new back in 88, paid $1,800 for both (San Francisco), got nowhere near that when I pawned them. Hurt to let them go, they would have been worth a mint, because I keep my equipment in excellent condition.
Love the stories behind the decks, i personally own 8 1200’s 2 pairs I customized them!!! Still have my first pair! Never going to get rid of them
Great vid Brian I’ve sold some of my controllers,speakers,and some mixers but I will never sell my technics 1200s
Amen Bro I have 8 of them I remember when I was younger I always wanted a set but couldn't afford them and that's why I have so many I love 1200s just that much
Any time you see some ones collection of Stereo Gear , is always interesting . I myself collect Receivers & Speakers .
Thanks for sharing, Brian. I enjoyed !
Awesome stuff Brian
I actually focused right away on Mikes 1200s. Those decks, Stanton slipmats and 680 carts look pristine. Beautiful set up Brian, thanks for sharing.
Beautiful indeed. Those are actually Stanton 500 carts from the looks of it.
Awesome, i have 5 🙂 thanks for sharing!
Great Vid Brian! Love my 1200’s and would never sell them.
I remember the first time you told us the pawn story on RUclips. I believe you even did a video when your purchased them back? It’s been quite a few years though and I’m gettin old 😂 Thanks for the vid👍🏻
You and I are kindred spirits...I have 8, 4 pair - 2 -1200MK2, 2 -1210MK2, 2 -1200 MD3, and 2 -1210MK7. MK7s are my least favorite. Great video.
My collection of sl1200s are one sl1200 mk2 , one sl1210 mk2 a pair of m3ds , pair of mk5s & a pair of m5gs , my favorite pair are the m3d because those are the first ones I bought back in 2000 when I was a teenager working a summer job .
I have 3 SL1210 and 2 SL1200 Looking forward to your Vinyl only future gig logs Brian :-)
Pure class !
wow. fantastic collection. ive owned a total of 5 sl1200 variants. all sold but i got a 1500c coming 😎
Great story, never owned a pair of Techincs but I vow that I will one day cause back then I could never afford it but after watching this made me want to pursue and get a pair
Great turntables Brian,
Sadly I know how you feel on the subject if helping 'friends' out.
Take care and I hope you and your family stay healthy in these strange times. 🇺🇸🇬🇧
i realize Im kinda off topic but do anyone know a good site to stream newly released movies online ?
If you're not selling them...What about donating one to me! Back is 1990 I had to sell my 1200 because I didn't have money to pay my rent...And even after that, we still got evicted! Nice Collection!
Definitely for DJs, not for serious at home listening
Hi Brian, which is your favorite Cartridge/Stylus for DJing, that's currently available in 2020? Maybe you can make a video with your favorite DJ Cartridges/Styluses in the past and presently.
I remember the pawn shops here in the u.k about 10 years ago were selling them for £150 to £200 a piece ,basically giving them away ,I recently saw one go on e-bay for £1300 ,mainly because it was made in 1985 ?!
Heck yeah!
I envy u 7 man thats heaven!!!!!
I definitely have my share of techniques 1200 mk2.....
@briansredd Great story, it sad to loose a friend - especially a good one! Stay strong!
Thanks for your videos. Which needles do you use?
I got Three SL1210mk2's like You would never part with them. I had a LP-120USB , that I did all the modifications to. And Like You a guy was begging me to sell It to Him, so He could start DJind again. So I sold It at a low price to help Him out, and again like You, He put It on E-Bay two days later for ten times the price. Then had the audacity to ask Me for My Rega p3, You can tell what I told Him.
Wow Brian that's so cool , I've got 2x sl1210 MK2 and 1x SL1200 Mk5
Do you have the European versions with the outlet adapter?
Sir, You have quite a
collection of turntables.
I'm lookimg to pick up one GOOD new turntable, for my hobby room... just for at home...
Torn between Reloop RP-7000 Mk2, and Audio-Technica LP-1240-XUSB...
Any tips on how to really compare those two or decide between them?
I've been wanting one of those for quote a while, bit can't decide which one, almost tempted to get one of each, but...
Keep shining bro!
The old MK2- MK5 1200s IS THE BEST WAY TO Go, although the newer digitally pitch controls are more accurate, I've heard that it has a downside when it comes to beat matching as the speed control tries to correct itself for the right setting. Like if you set it for +2% its going to attempt to keep that setting as you physically manipulate the record so in essence you are fighting your own turntable!
@@Hi-Tech-Ray , Daniel Spaniel , I'm lookimg for just ONE good turntable, for my own personal use in my hobby room... to add into the DJ stuff I have in there, mainly just for listening to some of my vinyls, and for recording a few samples from time to time...etc...
It won't really be used for normal DJ use, not in the usual sense at least... my main holdup with the 2 that I mentioned, is deciding between finish of square or round corners ...lol. Oh, and the new version of the AT LP-1240-XUSB has a conver and headshell/cardtridge included...so in the long run would be a bit cheaper...
The Reloop looks nice as well though, and would be usually hooked to my Reloop Terminal Mix 8 that is now my at-home prep/practice setup...and it appears to have the newer tonearm assembly...so...
Maybe I will buy the Reloop for one room, the AT for another, I could use one in my hobby room as well as the living room...
Isaiah Furrow As for DJING Technics 1200s will always be my first choice as well as casual listening but on the casual side I would not rule the reloop or the ATLP1240 out. The only thing I hope the ATLP1240 didn’t inherit from the ATLP 120 is the antiskate was not actually functional! I had a pair of the atlp120 before I got a pair of 1200s and that’s what I noticed. In the casual audiophile domain you want the antiskate to function correctly along with the correct tracking force for proper tracking of the grooves in the vinyl where the needle will wall the groove.
Has anyone used the mk4
Tô querendo comprar um par techiniks como eu faço
Vc poderia mim informa uma loja
The real first deejay turntables was SL-1200 first generation from 1972 to 1978 way before the SL-1200MK2
I'm curious how these are for beatmatching,with technics going backwards of late its possible they're better in there own subtle way maybe ?
I've owned 13 and I sold them all :(
Lucky the technics seem to be cheap in the U.S than here in great britain
Would you ever sell any of your 1200s?????? Im sure at a amazing high proce you will part with them. Im in the mar,et. With.. ana amazinngly high budget. Im scouring the globe for a matched pair. Mine got stolen off me. Man, i pawned so many technics 1200s. And im so upset that I cant find a goood pIr! In 1999, i bought my first pair. Boxed. Then my dad got cancer. I needed money, the bastard who sold them to me said illl give u half what you oayed. I said its been 1 day!!! He said sorry, u need oney, i need to make money. I was crushed. I vowed to find a good pair. And, Never found a good pair since 2010. I have saved a ton, but, no decks. Yet....
