Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?

I have just acquired a 32 year old JVC/Victor TT-101 DD turntable after having its lesser brother, the TT-81 for the last year.
TT-101
This is one of the great DD designs made at a time when the giant Japanese electronics companies like Technics, Denon, JVC/Victor and Pioneer could pour millions of dollars into 'flagship' models to 'enhance' their lower range models which often sold in the millions.
Because of their complexity however.......if they malfunction.....parts are 'unobtanium'....and they often cannot be repaired.

Are you looking for a TT101 to use for parts for your TT101 - the motor in mine is working fine the control system still have some issues that I have not had the time to sort out - probably won't for quite some time - make me an offer.

Thanks

I neglected to note that the monster got the girl in "Young Frankenstein", not because of his superior intellect, if you know what I mean. Dr. Frankenstein did OK, too, with his nurse assistant.

lew, that’s my favorite Brooks film. I’ve seen it several times and still chuckle with each viewing.

My most quoted line, "Could be worst, could be raining."  But there are almost too many to count.
