I've been to see a couple of these locally recently... their idea of great condition is covered in fag ash and scratches! :rolleyes:

I would rather not have one that had been heavily used by a DJ so rather than the lottery that is eBay, I thought I'd try like minded people.

Let me know if you have a well cared for 1210 you are looking to move on.

Regards,

I managed to get one late last year via ebay which was almost mint but quite old. Apparently it had only been used by a hi-fi fan. They are there, keep looking. And, it really is a wonderful sounding deck being so neutral.

Been away for a while but back and still on the look out for a honest 1210. Anyone have one?

Thanks

Sorry, Gary, I only have mine which I love. I do have a spare almost new bearing/platter, though, which you can have if you find a Techie in good condition with a worn main bearing.

Have you tried Freecycle or GumTree they occasionally come up on these sites??

I've been keeping an eye on the local Gumtree. So far it's mostly 2 decks with mixers that have been coming up. I guess I might need to buy a pair and then resell the other one.

Thanks

I have noticed one or two 1210's in Cash Converters (maybe Cash Generators) Possibly worth taking a look there.

Thanks, I'll have a look there too. There a few I'm watching on eBay too. I guess it's just a case of waiting for the right deck at the right price (there's plenty at silly money). I'm just not the most patient!! :o

Can I ask how much are you prepare to spend on? I have one 1210Mk2 and two 1200Mk2's, all new/sealed/unopened with uk main plugs.

I bought them for resale value when Panasonic announced the end of production, so they are waiting for new owners.

Hi Maks,

Looking to spend a couple of hundred at the very most so that's why I'm keeping an eye for a good uesd one.
