I didn't see any reason it wouldn't work. I have a Miracord 45 that's 52 years old and still working.
Hi any of these for sale? Just wondering!!
No buddy. I just bought them however send this guy a message, as I bought off him and is trustworthy as he still has a couple of beauties for sale. facebook.com/Rutkose?mibextid=ZbWKwL
Bkn bro😊pone la cámara en un pedestal y te saldrá más fácil y bkn tu amboxing TECHNICK,yo nunca voy a poder tener una,soy una persona muy pobre, felicitaciones y bendiciones 🎉❤
I had a pair of M3D 1210, and I personally think they were the best turntables of all the 1200 range. Just as solid as the Mk2, but without the annoying centre dent on the pitch slider. I bought a brand new pair of 1200 Mk5 and I didn't think they were quite as solidly built.
I agree. My MK2 and the 3D feel identical everywhere except for the centre dent on the pitch. Never used an MK5. Anything old is better build quality than the newer stuff from my experience.
MK2/M3D/MK5/MK6 all of those models are tanks. built to last in japan. the new MK7 models are plastic junk. if i was gonna buy a new pair it would be 1200GR or GR2 and i’d replace the feet with MK2 feet. those are actually solid compared to the MK7 decks.
thanks kosta
Wow it’s all gone a bit Pete tong. 😛
Been mixing on vinyl since the early eighties and it happens sometimes when doing live mixes. I don't edit and fix any muck ups so as it shows it's a real vinyl mix and not dubbed. When you are present at a vinyl gig, you hear mixes straying even from the big name DJ's but it shows that they are really mixing and it's not pre recorded. And you hear and see how it gets corrected. Perfect mixes on KZread will almost always be pre recorded.
Sir, is it Malaysia made ?
Only the MK7'S and new Technics turntables are made in Malaysia. This is a 2000 model MK3D but never used since the year 2000. It's made in Japan.
No. It's made in Japan. New current model Technics are made in Malaysia now.
After 25 years it'll need recapping... If u don't the sound will be off
So next year then. It's 24 at the moment.
I just took my 45 year old Mark II out of storage….. it’s working great.
Good to know they still go strong after so many years. Enjoy!😎
had no doubt it would work straight away. 1200s of old are tanks. my pair of MK2s were made in 2003 and are still rock solid and hold a beat perfectly. never getting rid of them.
Maybe you should zero the subwaight without the stylus protector on
If you have a look carefully, I remove the protector before I begin the balancing process.
And it's weight!
what is made in china or made in japan tnx chucky winnipeg manitoba canada
Japan. This was specific for the Japanese market which is why there is only voltage for100V on the unit to suit their electricity voltage. I bought a transformer to use it.
Why wouldn't it work. They are built never to go down I was using them in the 80s
The target lights do fail. I've had to replace the one on mine (bought around 1998) with an LED and it's a pain because it's not designed to be replaced.
It was SL1200MK2. The next generations were more plasticky, but still made in Japan. The new ones made in Malaysia will hardly survive 5 years of hard use in clubs.
@@peterregorsek1504 Is that why the target light pops up fast on my mk2 being more solid and slow on the mk3d being plastic? Or is it because the mk3d is new? I'm away this week so can't check if my mk3d one is plastic.
@@Toskas Cannot say abot these things. But "made in Japan" can never be replaced by "made in somewehere else". Even it is a 100% japanese owned factory with high standards of quality control. I see that with turntables, cartridges, styluses, etc. Even if I order cheaper japanese stylus, not Jico, it is better made like the one that comes from Swiss, for the same money.
As opposed to *use/abuse,* this phenomenon is technically called *disuse.* i.e., usually due to the degrading of key electronic components from *not having* been powered up for extremely long periods of time. Typical is the spoiling of the electrolytes in capacitors (akin to the chemicals in a battery) which can happen faster when all of residual charge has drained away completely. So it is better to use such devices occasionally in order to ensure *really long life* ...
The target light is broken... 😂
At that moment my heart sank. Then I saw the power was off. 🤣🤣🤣 Relieved is an understatement!🤣
@@Toskas My favourite part of the video, click, click, click haha
Spin the wheel
How are the silvers do they feel like the original mk2s? Or are they like the 1210mk7?
All the silver 1200 models, mk7 models came out after the black 1210 and none have a problem with the pitch. The pitch is accurate. The pitch on the MK2 is tighter. Less movement of the pitch is needed to get a speed change on the platter. As for the platter you can get it to feel like the mk2 or lighter or even heavier as you have four different torque settings to choose from. So when DJing, you can feel the platter either similar, lighter or heavier depending on your settings than the MK2. With the pitch you can feel a slight difference as you need to move it probably a millimetre more than the 2 to get speed change. The 7 is lighter than the 2 by around 4kg but you don't feel this when DJing.
Cheers, didn’t see your reply. I brought a pair sending back warped unfortunately badly platters.
Now I’m damn sure George street was named after you
💯🤣🤣🤣
@@Toskas IM IN YOUR BUS!! Well I’m one of the passengers who are in the opera house at the moment
@@shikigranbell1780 I knew it when you said George Street named after me because I only told you like half an hour ago and you subscribed too. Thank you sir!
Just had an 8min22sec orgasm...thx TOSKAS! Can you do another one counting five dollar bills and and see how many you can stuff in your mouth?
Wow! So rare to see. Great find this mate 👍

I’ll never part with my 1986, 1210 MkIIs. 38 years, and still ultra-gorgeous!
Very rare to find a brand new mk3d these days. Congratulations!
💯 rare. I just filmed myself unpacking it properly. Video will be up in a few days. It's definately brand new. Thanks for the support. I've seen your channel from a few years ago. I love your mixes brother! 😎
🎵🎶
Great video..Mk7 is fantasic turntable..enjoj the miusic..
Nice. Great Mix Great Transitions .... Have fun!!! Greatings
Great track choice!
I rember the 90's...i used to do ilegal raves in the U.K...good times...banging tunes mate...
They were the days 💯
Great mix Toskas! 😃👍👌🙌🎛🎶🔊🔥❤️
Were did you get the needle for the mk7 ??
Manny's, (Store DJ), in Alexandria, Sydney. Same place I bought the MK7'S from.
Stick that warped one in airing cupboard in between 2 lots of yellow pages will take the warp out. I've got 2 1200s. They were built in 1997. I bought them second hand in 2004... 2 decks in flight cases, a vestax mixer, and 100 records £450 they're in mint condition ive replaced all the cables had them serviced regularly. Love um. Lost 2 pairs of 1210s up my nose before i got them. 😂 them days have gone thank fxxk
You should’ve put them side-by-side. This jumping around made me nauseous.
I love my MK7's, solid units, no issues and keep their time/pitch etc locked in better any other turntable I've used. For the doubters and MK7 haters there's plenty of Vinyl Mixes on my channel using the MK7's which barely miss a beat (shameless plug 😂)... but for anyone contemplating a brand new pair of MK7's I say go for it. Great units 👍

Been looking at the Mk7 for a while now. I had Mk2’s back in the day and can’t find a decent set that hasn’t been battered second hand. The thing that put me off the Mk7 was the digital pitch and also the issue with the dead zones on the pitch. Hopefully this has been sorted now.
The dead zones are fixed. It's very easy to mix on the mk7's. Even easier than the cdj3000s. The CDJ'S drift more and need correction more often I find. As for the MK2's and all the old range, I agree it's very hard to find a decent one. They are all advertised as mint yet when you see them they make you sick.
@@Toskas Seems like the Mk7 isn’t as bad as I first thought. That Mk2 you have looks mint. The ones I’ve been to see are either Frankendecks that have been painted etc, or look like they’ve been dug up. The young DJ’s are warping their tracks to use on CDJ’s, so they are all locked and no need for adjustment. At that point it’s pretty much doing it for you.
@@harshhell4185 yes. That one MK2 I have is super mint. Never been opened or tampered with. I was very lucky to find it. It was originally owned by a DJ who had it as a spare boxed up and he hardly used it. I paid extra for it but I'm willing to pay extra for quality decks. Im looking for another one but I can't find one. There is a lot of crap out there. Agree that the CDJ'S can do it all for you. But mixing the old school way, without electronic help, they drift. And you will find that one tune is 124.3 bpms and another is 124.8 bpms. The increments don't allow you to have both at 124.8 on many occasions. The tune you bring in can only be adjusted to say 124.6 or it jumps to 125 with the slightest pitch movement. You can't get it to 124.8 so it will always drift and you need to keep correcting it with the platters. With true vinyl, house, trance, I find it easier to keep the tunes synced with the mk7's. It's like the adjustment increments are better.
@@Toskas I know what you mean with the CDJ’s especially. I bought the 2000 Nexus when they first came out and found I had to keep moving them with the pitch up a little or down a little then back to the original setting, I don’t like using the platter because it can be more noticeable at times. Don’t get me wrong the CDj’s have some great features but the digital pitch isn’t one of them. You were very lucky indeed to find that one Mk2. I look forward to future videos mate. Subbed👍
@@harshhell4185 thanks buddy! I appreciate it!
Proper DJ. Nice to see someone mixing vinyl. Great tune selection👍
Thanks buddy. I hope this gives you an idea of how it is to mix on the 7's.
Love the little experiment you did there with those 2 records man, great comparison. The record on the 1200mk7 is proper bent up, so if there was a massive difference i'd put it down to that ha. Have My 1210s mk2s about 28 years, absolute beasts they are. If you enjoy the Underground Dance Music Scene, Jump In Check Out The Channel.
I have two videos after this one with experiments too. Even though the record was bent they kept in beat. I never touched the platter or the pitch control. I will definately check out your channel. Cheers!
@@Toskas oh shit sorry man I was sure I replied to you,but I may not have. I'll check out all your uploads man and a drop a comment on them as I go through each video.
MK7 has adjustable torque settings in the motor and i think it speeds up a little bit faster than MK2 with maximum setting
You are correct!
NO drifting, all good and why not there technics. They are the true superior in direct drive turntables….
Absolutely 🙌
These are great tests, thank you. I have a pair of 1200s I got new on my 21st birthday in 1993. I'm considering adding two of these MK7s, so this is very cool to see. Cheers!
Glad these tests are of help to you. Thanks for the support!
Would love a set of mint mk2s but hard to find so I think I will give the 7s a go! I have owned mk2s,mk5s and vestax turntables just hope the 7s are good to mix on.
Very easy to mix on.
@@Toskas that’s good to hear. I found the digital pitch on reloop decks and pioneer really poor just hope technics have mastered it.
@@chrismurray3198They have fixed the issues from the Red Bull edition and onward. I find it easier to mix on than the CDJ 3000's. I have to nudge the control platters more than I have to on the 7's. The pitch is better on the mk7 than the CDJ 3000..
I have mint mk2s 1995 both manufactured
Main advantage of mk7 is that it’s brand new. There are lots of Frankenstein MK2s around now sporting aftermarket non-Technics parts. So they are no longer like for like.
Nice video dude. I have mk7 and is good for mixing no problem form me. One question how to adjust ortofon concorde to be exactly perpendicular? Seems you have a optimum adjustment. Little screws in arm near cartige? Thanks and nice mixes!
The ortofon fits straight in. I only tighten the one big screw where the ortofon sits in. Then I adjust the height at the back of the tonearm with the dial. With the slipmats I have, I set it to zero. I measured at the back of the tonearm and the front near the cartridge so that's it equal. I adjust the dial to suit.
Try to pitchride on MK7 and you'll notice a difference.
4:32 you know what the numbers next to the red light do and where the screw is inside the deck under the platter that you turn to adjust and calibrate them back perfect? (so when pitch is on +6 the red dot thats on the +6 level will be dead still ) .... and the one that adjusts the brake to skid or stop more sudden ;) nice setup
Thanks heaps. Yes. I know about that. If the pitch at 0% line up with the dots being still means you don't need to calibrate with a potentiometer. Can be done from under the cover that's under the platter for the rest of the pitch range, from the top right, usually a blue screw. The thing is, there is now talk that the 6% is wrong and the print should have read 6.4% like the mk5 and after. Mine lines up with the dots not moving at 6.4%. I'm still trying to see how true this information is. My deck has been been rarely used and I was wondering how the pitch fader was that far out at 6%. Then I was told from one technician that the print on the deck is wrong and it should in fact read 6.4%. Interesting as there are quite a few vids on KZread where people have calibrated the 6%at 6% because their calibration was out supposedly, as their pitch was showing at around 6.4%. Seems quite a few have been at 6.4% before they calibrate. So I'm now wondering.
Nice lead off track buddy 🔥
Glad you liked it! Thanks heaps!
