hm.. i'm not sure about technics or gemini..

but you can get a Numark TT-1700 for $129 from Pro Sound and Stage
Lighting..

you can call 1800-945-9300 or go to www.pssl.com ..

anyone who's had any experience with these turntables can comment on them..
from what I read in the catalogue it sounds like the bargain turntable if
you don't have the cash, or don't wanna spend the cash on a gemini or
technics turntable.

just for reference.. from ProSound:

Gemini XL-BD10..............................$109.99 *
Gemini PT-1000..............................$299.99
Gemini PT-2000..............................$379.99
Technics SL-1200MK2.........................$479.99

* if you only wanna spend this amount of cash, get the numark... this is
definitely amonst the shittiest turntables ever created. Modern music used
to have 2 of these and the platter wobbles like it's on air and it's
generally crappy.
