I bought my first set of turntables when I was 17 with the first instalment of my student loan. Couldn't afford technics at the time so went for a set of Numark TT2 Pro's. Damn fine TT's. Wasn't technics though..... After a couple of years... one day my dad came home from work and told me a story about one of the work vans being stolen and found abandoned. Amazingly, they were abandoned with a pair of 1210 mkII's in the back of them. Ideal. Got them a full service and never looked back. Still work like a dream. would only change them for a set of mk5's. Other than that i'm very happy with them. Miss them too due to working in the mines. Been waaaay to long since i've had a proper shot of them. 'mon the technics
