Check EBay for comparative prices! Do not over pay! My $20 GW purchase was just one of those lucky finds - like the time I walked in and bought a pair of Klipsch Heresy's for $25!
You could always tear it down, and do a clean lube and adjust. Be sure to take the motor apart and then lube the motor bearings. Then remove and replace the tone arm with any arm up to 9 inches. It will require you drilling the top plate for the new mount but it’s very easy to do. I did this with my Dual 1229, and mounted a Grace 747. Its my favorite turntable and gets used every day.
