THis is not true! you can get used technics 1200's (direct drive) for about
$250 a piece. (if you don't mind it bein a little beatup, and without the
cover, and no cartridge.) You can get cheap cartridges for about thirty
bucks. almost any "problem" with 1200 can be fixed way cheaper than buying
a new one. they're really easy to fix yourself. There are tons of resources
out there.
try the link below for more info about your 1200. save a little, get a
cheap mixer (some can be had for under a hundred bucks) down the road,
another 1200, and you're watchin' alot less television.
