Who remembers these Technics Limited Edition from the 1990s?

Not a fan of blingy equipment usually but I wanted one just because it's so over the top.

Bold move by Technics, turntable industry was on its arse around that time. I wonder how much it sold for back then, and how much a standard non-blingy version went for.

An SL1200 was £450 in 1995 - I think the blingy one was around £700.

They are hideous.
And an extra £450 to have them shipped from Spain - just lash them onto some empty oil barrels and leave them on the beach at Calais, someone will bring them across the channel for free.

There is a certain "je ne sais quoi" about them, the barrel thing could work out!

They could stuff them with cheap baccy and fags from the Calais hypermarket too. Double win.
