I just don’t think you should get a TT that old. The best were made 1980-90 timeframe.

I find my best deals at record shops and craigslist. You have to look and feel before buying.

I like direct drive. There are no idler wheels that get brittle with age.

I like heavy platters. The heaver the better.

I like standard cartridge headpieces. You can mount anything.

I don’t like builtin preamps.

I don’t like linear tracking.

Anyway—hope some of this helps.
