I do have several hundred LPs mainly from the ‘70s. some have only seen one side played. Condition there is another worry.
That last note I pasted from your thoughts is one reason I’m interested in this area.
I do get it there’s more to it all. The idea of just how much is key.
Setting up the TT itself I would think would be done as a paid for service or one provided if the thing was purchased from that venue or vendor locally.
Knowing no more, I’ve the idea once a solid performing TT setup is on board all else can be advanced or elevated incrementally, so the overall impact is not as severe. JMO.
However I do get your inferences. Much gratitude for them.

Blindjim > Atmosphere, Thank you very much for the illuminations. super. Especially the input on that Tecnics model.
I stumbled upon some Mide Fremer youtube videos aimed directly at analog and haven’t been the same since.
Naturally I’ve some physical limitations which do give me some worries with respect to this arena. Merely picking out or better put, inspecting the LPs for example, poses an obvious stumbling block. I believe too there is a work around for that.
Certainly something pretty formidable has to be on the side of analog for folks to sprint down that road as fervently as so many TT people seem to do.
I’m curious enough to examine things sufficiently so once a financial sector can be determined I can then hopefully figure out how to overcome any other possible physical twists or pitfalls.
One possible unknown regards the fact everything is rotating and rotation along with friction means wear. Enough wear means something at some point will need adjusting or replacing.
What then would be the more common items a TT would needs be adjusted, and how will you know prior to a disasterous situation? Ie., arm tracking, tracking force, or ??
is MM the prefered path or is it MC?
