Sheet 11 · Parts and service
Who to call
Panasonic stopped supporting the classic line, but the aftermarket around it is deep and long-established, one of these has been working on nothing but 1200s since 2000, and is manufacturing parts Panasonic discontinued a decade ago. A broken 1200 is rarely a dead 1200.
