Apparently Panny, who own the Technics brand, is to cease production
of the Technics turntable range:

Though neither the Panny nor Technics site's have updated their "news"
links
since 10th dec.


It'll be interesting to see if all the 'clones' remain in production!

It is odd (to me!) that turntables in general are still in production,
and if anything seem to be growing. Aren't there enough around for everyone?

But I do rate Technics TTs, seem very well designed and screwed
together, and if imitation has anything to do with flattery:

Curiously close specification, including weight, but not including
wow/flutter, to the SL1200.
