Jam Burglar Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Whats the little button between the pitch slider and the tonearm??? Looks like the quartz lock button. This started with the M3D and carried over to future models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-L Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Isn't that the Quartz lock button? Newer models have no zero notch on the pitch fader so thats for setting it to exactly 0%. Oops jam beat me to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savwar Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 no, not the reset button, the one between the pitch slider near the bit where the tone arm is connected to the base... (can't believe i can't think of a better way of describing that...)actually it looks like it has X2 written on it so maybe it's to change the pitch to +16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Yeah, it's definitely there to change the pitch to +/- 16 as it mentions that in the specs: - http://shop.panasonic.com/about-us-latest-news-press-releases/01042017-SL-1200GR.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 +/- 16%!!!! How revolutionary. I did like the recent comment from Technics that these definitely aren't aimed at DJs... Sure, because if you're a hifi nerd with 3 grand to drop on a turntable, a 1200 with pitch control will be your first port of call! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Burglar Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Yep, the M5G's have that +/- 16% button too. I paid something like $500 a piece for my M5gs. $3000 is atrocious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waxdestroyer Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Whats the little button between the pitch slider and the tonearm??? Looks like the quartz lock button. This started with the M3D and carried over to future models. Back in 94 or something they released the first Gold Edition for consumers wich also had a reset quartz lock button.The M3Ds came out in 97.

dj justin time Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Read somewhere today they gonna be about 1200-1300 quid each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rasteri Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Hmm that's less than a CDJ... I can see them being used by DJs now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
props to the finger Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I read on the ttlab instagram that it'll retail for $2000 a piece? Fucking beyond stupid. The only thing interesting about these is the prospect of actually owning a new pair of techs these days. The 1200 are still the most beautiful things ever, though.

savwar Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 It also might curb some of the idiots trying to sell 2nd hand ones at ridiculous prices "because they done make em anymore" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
