"Regarding Analogue turn-table products, we have to inform you of our decision to terminate the business within this year, regrettably. Followings show the reasons which made us to reach to this conclusion.
1) Since beginning of the last decade, our sales of turn-table has been decreasing drastically. It's almost one-fifteenth sales units compared with 10 years ago.
2) Never the less, many key parts are no longer available as some of our suppliers stopped production, and some have already discontinued their business. And there is a risk for some key parts that are available currently might be stopped suddenly, because those parts are continued producing only for our turn-table. In that case we cannot produce products that we have taken order already. We cannot help discontinuing production in advance in order to avoid the worst case."

IMHO the CDJ-1000 killed the 1200...They state the decline of 1200 sales has been down in the last decade, CDJ-1000's were released in 2001. Damn you pioneer for putting out such a fine product! lol
Oh well...I guess I'll be stockpiling some 1200 parts so I can play my wax.
Good Bye Dear Friend.
