Yeah. That's my suspicion as well... Actual numbers of DJ's interested in going back to spinning physical vinyl probably isn't a big number since the transition to digital has happened already. So Panasonic isn't likely going to have the same about of economy of scale to build with the same quality and make good profit, hence the unlikeliness of it coming back... And if it does, the price might take quite a leap! Likewise, I would love to see it come back. I certainly wouldn't mind getting a new 1210 black unit at a reasonable price. For the value conscious, keeping it -not -highly regarded among the audiophile crowd is a good thing :D. At least maybe keeping used prices from being astronomical!
