Vintage Denon turntable


I have an opportunity to purchase a Denon DP 60-L turntable for three hundred bucks. No cartridge. It is in beautiful cosmetic condition and will appear to power on, but does not turn the platter. Questions:  If this TT can be fixed, is it something I should want to own?  How much would it make sense to put into having it repaired?  Where would I send it to have the work done well?

I have 3 Denons but not your model and I like them very much. I would suggest not buying the turntable if it doesn't work.

I think it’s too much for non working turntable, for nearly the same price you could buy working DP-75 or DP-80 drives.
I would pass on it. It may be a simple recap which would cost you $150-200 bucks. Or it could be one of those proprietary chips in that case you have a beautiful paper weight. I would look for a working one. They can be found starting around $750 up to around $900. If you can find a working DP-75 or DP-80 for these prices jump on it. These are now around $1000 and up.
Happy listening
