You can get some great deals on Thorens too. The older ones are really easy to fix if they ever do break. They are belt driven. A lot of the models parts interchange. I have a dozen or so. LOL. Look! 100-1500.00 for the same TT one with a heavy Plinth, one without. Belts 10 dollars.. Carts
get scratchers (DJ stuff) 20-150 for 2 or 3.
A good receiver, like Sansui, Pioneer Spec, there are a few good ones with Phono on board . Throw in a good Sony SCD for 200.00 if you looking. Speakers, just a ton to chose from. I like the older Infinity for the money. 100-400.00. A lot of parts to keep them in tip top shape.. VMPS if you can find a pair you like... Big boom boom for the kiddies..No subs needed...
Fewer the parts better off you are ay?
