Good to see sales rise. Let's hope it contunues in the years to come.

You know what this MIGHT mean if it continues? The rebirth, hopefully not in mullered form, of the Techie They'd have to see a genuine market demand though since they were made in huge batches every so often and from what I gather, the main board may need to be redesigned as I understand some IC's aren't made any more, but you never know. It just depends on whether DJ's will return to vinyl on the road - sorry, but it was thanks to them the original kept going for thirty years and more

[edit] - Wiki says the mk2 was introduced in 1978!

I regularly frequent Sister Ray in Berwick street and spoke to the owner the other day inquiring whether his vinyl sales were up. He replied (with a smile) that they were and by no small margin. His answer warmed the cockles of my heart..

I personally have never stopped buying vinyl and still have all my records I bought since I was about 12 years old. Thankfully I was never swept up in the whole CD thing...

Right, you are about that! While I would never be caught dead (or alive) "scratchin'" I certainly have to give them respect for keeping the 12xx in production for so long.

Of course, I'd rather they re-enter the market with a technology updated SP-10MK2 or MK3 (fewer IC's, user adjustable torque, etc.). I'd sell my kids for one.

My local dealer said the same, but then pointed out most were being bought by collectors and would probably never be played, which was a surprise.

I can't see the point of that myself...

All mine get well played...

Oh yes, music is to be played...
