Inexpensive Good Vintage Turntables?

I have a turn table question for the audiophiles.

I'm looking to sell a vintage Sota Spharrie with a Premier FT-4 tonearm, and a Blue Point cartridge. It has been meticulously cared for and in excellent condition.

Any thoughts on value?

Thank you,

@beartunes which city/state are you in?

Many people will see a single post and suspect a scam could be taking place. Or maybe I am unique.

A photo might help to provide some assurance.

Having the same TT and different arm, I suspect that the arm and cart are nothing too stunning.
I had a Sumiko BPS for a while (15 years).

Any Empire! I have four in my TT collection. Truly excellent American-made belt drives with powerful motors and heavy platters. 

It isn't just the turntable, but the arm, cartridge, phono stage and particular pressings, in top condition, cleaned. That is going to cost money. No way you get what "vinyl" has to offer without spending money. Some people are happy to go "used" and vintage; others are wary, short of a full restoration. 

If I budget this, it isn't cheap. And we haven't even talked about the cost of the "software." Record prices are high, and grading is all over the place. That said, I've been very fortunate- I talk to sellers in advance, because I don't want to have to return. And in a very few cases have I had to, given the number of records bought online. Just be aware that this isn't an idle pursuit, if you want to realize what good LP playback can offer. 

Not that I like the prices any more than you do.

@lohanimal The GL75 or a close matching model from Lenco is a good option.

The Lenco GL75 is very good suggestion and Lenco Heaven Forum is a great place to find ideas, instruction, pictorials and inspiration to get it up to its very best.

Another bonus of the GL75 is that there are designs produced for it by owners that can be seen on the LH Forum, that have it in use as a Belt Drive and Idler Drive.
