Hi, I would not worry too much about spare parts in the beginning....just get one that spare parts are available for. Many of the vintage turntables that still function or have be refurbished will last a long time before anything serious wears out. The most common things are drive belts and drive pulleys. Some will also need things like motor mounting grommets. Most everything else will either last forever with proper maintenance or has already gone into the trash. I have three vintage turntables and two recently made. Two of the vintage ones (an Empire 598 and a Dual 701) easily outperform the newer ones (a Pro-jet Debut III and a Sota Moonbeam). The vintage ones are about 40 years old now and will probably be working for many more.
