Now if i go to B&H and search for it: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/170050-REG/Technics_SL1200MK2_SL_1200MK2_Professional_DJ_Turntable.html

 

Price: $1,149.99

Cripes, even the original price is a bit rough... for that you can get a music hall (MMF 2.2, or similar), or rega (RP1)

I think DJs have popularized the 1200s so much, that people sometimes don't consider other tables. My pair of 1200s have proven so reliable and sturdy, I haven't been curious about other tables, until people bring it to my attention.

 

If he just wants one for listening, something like the Dual 1019, would do the job as well.
