Equipment question (no a-jazz content.)

Sorry people, I've got an equipment question or two and thought I'd utilise
the list's DJs!

O.K. guys and gals, two easy questions:

1) Does the Technics 1200s now come with a voltage selector (110/220V). I
know that they never used too (hence the 1210 sitting in my room,) but I
called my store in the U.S. and the dude swore black and blue that it has a
voltage selector. To be specific he said that you can change the power-plug
to a two pointer and so I'm not really sure that he understood what I
meant. If anyone has a recent model 1200 (or has seen one in a store
recently,) could you tell me whether or not they do indeed now come with a
voltage selector.

2) The other question is regarding the MTX-35 Battleboard mixer. Do ppl
still recommend this one? I've heard both good and bad things about it but
the pros seem to outweigh the cons. e.g. among other things it has a
voltage selector!!! Remember I'm only a beginner at this stuff (only one
years experience DJing wax,) and so I don't really need something like the
pro DMC mixer! ;-)

I think that's about it. If anyone knows any store in the L.A. area (and
delivers!!!) that currently have 1210s in stock let me know. I've tried my
favourite store (Pro Sound,) and don't even have any on order. Considering
that it takes about a month to get them I'm outta luck cos my sis will be
hitting the states in two weeks.

Any help appreciatted! Apologies for non-aj content once more.
Dino!
