Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's?


Howdy folks-

We’ll I’ve got the vinyl bug for sure. 6 months ago, I bought my first TT, a nice Technics 1200 GR along with some killer vintage MM carts like Audio-Technica, Stanton and a few Grace. I love my GR! I love that little silver bastard A LOT as a matter of fact. A couple weeks ago, my second table arrived, a minty fresh Luxman PD-444 from Japan. This is a Micro Seiki built TT and was the "tits" in the mid 70’s. I can mount 2 arms on the Luxman. I’ve got a nice Victor 7045 arm coming soon along with a Victor X-1IIe MM cart which work quite well together.

I’d like to add another Vintage TT from the 70’s or 80’s and probably phase out the GR. I like the look of the old Pioneer, Denon and Victor tables. I’d like to get a vintage table that can be serviced if needed, something I can add a sweet vintage arm too. 3 arms are better than two!

I’d like to hear suggestions and comments on some fantastic, cool as crap, vintage turntables that you think should sit next to the Luxman.

Thanks again for your help!

Victor upper end models, same as Denons are often referred as "Flying Saucers" although I think the Denons look a bit like a cake that went lopsided. LOL

Just a reminder that the TT-101/QL10 are voltage convertible
at an internal electrical connection

@totem395  Do you know how to do it or do you have an explanatory photo to explain to those who own a TT101 here?
@best-groove

Easiest to place the picture of the wiring block "borrowed picture"
on the system page with my TT-101.

well, I've seen your photos, the transformer is already set up to accept a couple of voltages, just move the wainscot; I thought it was also set for 220-240V
