I have a Technics 1210 which was once a pair from my former bedroom DJ days and is now a single. It's still going strong as you'd expect but Technics don't make decks anymore. I have it on good information that the Audio Technica, which is based off the design of the 1210 is a great replica, it's a bit pricey compared to the Sony's which are around £100-£150 but it's solid and will last!
