Finally got part of the setup Ive always wanted.

They look nice. But I can't help but mourn the passing of another pair of 1200's.

Those are beautiful, but why not just buy 10s?

Get a grip for christsake man haha... a guy putting his own spin on a pair of decks is like putting new wheels on the car to replace the factory standard.

They are the same decks, worry not.

Trust me guys, I have the upmost respect for Technics. Everything I did was for the best intentions. It could have been worse, ive seen some tacky mods. Straight tone arm, lights under the platter, UV led mods.

Trying to get my hands on some replacement stickers for the branding and ill be changing the slipmats to something a little less flashy.

The really cool thing imo is that you managed to get a pair of m3d/mk3 whatever - with the recessed motor switch, pitch reset button and no center detent on the fader. Here I see ads for MK2s most of the time, and hardly any of the more recent models.

(well, there was one local hero selling his M3Ds because of a relocation to the US... but one supposedly had a damaged tonearm. 600€ for the pair... sigh)

Might as well stick to k2s... in a year I've seen maybe two m3ds and an m5g.

Really like what you've done with them.
