1200MK3D and unmentioned 1200MK3DS both came in silver, not just black
[edit]The article says the 1200MK3D was Japan-only and black finish. But it is easy to find silver ones for sale online. Also see http://audio-heritage.jp/TECHNICS/player/sl-1200mk3d.html for reference; it says silver and black were available. Also on eBay I see there are some silver decks for sale which clearly say SL1200MK3DS on the box. What does the "S" stand for? http://panasonic.jp/audio/p-db/SL-1200MK3DS.html mentions these, too, come in both black and silver finish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by mjb (talk • contribs)
WEAK LEAD
[edit]The Lead needs a proper rewrite. It is weak. It has in specific info in the first lines when it should focus on the global iconic nature of the turntable in popular culture. WP:LEAD summarizes the most notable things. All the fluff in the second paragraph is poorly constructed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.0.4.169 (talk) 12:52, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
- I’ve made a small change to the lead paragraph to address thi. But agree the article could do with more of a rewrite to emphasise the culturally important aspects (“iconic”, “world’s most popular turntable”, etc) with less focus on the product-related minutia.
- I vaguely remember around the Y2K era there was much talk of turntables replacing the guitar as the thing every wannabe musician teen had (or wanted to have) in their bedroom. But I haven’t quite figured out how to track down references and examples of that from media of the time. Maetl Encoder (talk) 04:11, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
