Technics


Was just curious... 
I know Panasonic moved the Technics assembly from Japan to Malaysia in the early part of this year. I heard multiple time frames for when the 1200 and 1210 tables will be available. Has anyone heard anything recently..either from.the company themselves or a Technics dealer?

What is a Technics dealer? (Just kidding, of course.) I asked on here a bit back if anyone had noticed that the list of places to buy has greatly decreased in recent months. Last I checked, there wasn't a single Technics dealer in the whole of New England. Though I'd been interested in getting an SL-1200GR as my retirement turntable, I've been changing my focus of late.

Thanks, @stereo5. I actually phoned Fidelis a couple of months ago and was told that they no longer carried Technics. When I mentioned that I had seen them listed on the Technics site but that they no longer appeared there, the salesman said, incredulously, "They took us off!"

He further said that they simply couldn't get any product from them for the longest time, etc.

How do you like your SL-1200G? What cartridge are you using? And what phono stage?
I was just now looking at Adirondack Audio's Website and noted that they've also got a store in southern Vermont, perhaps a bit less than an hour and a half from where I live in Western Massachusetts. I'll be getting in touch with them soon. Thanks, again, @stereo5!
