Justin Lovelace (aka Terminal Optic) is probably the only man who can say he has gotten up close and personal with the turntables of international DJs Afrika Bambaataa, Erick Morillo, and Carl Cox. After close to 20 years specializing in the repair of Technics DJ & consumer products, Optic – owner of the famed New York-based company DJ Pro Audio, Inc. and the last known Authorized Service Technician for Technics in the US – has announced that he is leaving the repair business to focus on his family and his event production, audio/visual rental and installation businesses. It has been only two short months since fans of vinyl were dealt a heavy blow when, on October 20th, Panasonic announced that it would be discontinuing the rest of their Technics product line, including the legendary SL-1200MK series turntables that are a staple in clubs and bars around the world. When asked about his history with the brand, Optic explains, "I've been fixing Technics products for close to 20 years, focusing mainly on the DJ line. All in all, I've probably worked on well over 50,000+ Technics DJ & Non-DJ Turntables." When DJing was at its peak in the 1990s, Optic was taking in at least 50 turntables a week for repair, modification, or refurbishment. He has had major DJ touring artists ship their turntables from as far away as Japan, Norway, and Russia to be customized and modified according to their specs. Optic has worked on Pioneer, Rane, Denon, Crown, Urei, Bozak, and countless other brands, but he says Technics was one of the best built brands on the market. Pro AV Rentals is New York's premier rental company specializing in DJ, audio, video, lighting and staging equipment. With over 20 years of experience, ProAVRentals.com provides support for thousands of industry functions, social events, conferences and concerts throughout New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut.

I think Panasonic have only stopped the MK6 turntable. They still do the standard Mk 2 and the Mk5 (which is a tweaked Mk2). So panic over. |
