Well, I didn't do that. I added up the cost of replacing the LPs I didn't want to be without, and bought a new TT for about a third of that amount. Since then, I've replaced a fair number of those LPs with CDs, anyway--partly because I found myself grabbing a CD most of the time, simply out of convenience, so I wasn't listening to the music I'd owned the longest and loved the most, and partly because I bought a new car with a CD player in it.
I'm glad I didn't go cold turkey, however, because I've been listening to a lot of old LPs lately--one last time before I sell them--and I've discovered a few that wouldn't have made the cut five years ago, but now are among my favorites. So my advice is, make the transition slowly.
