Decent p-mount table?


Technics or others make a decent table?

If you don't want to spend a FORTUNE on a table, but still want respectable performance, some of the P-Mount tables with the stright arms from Technics were very good as well. I have SL-QD33 in my living room HT system and fitted with an Ortofon X1-MCP, it's a nice Quartz Lock DD table that is full auto with logic control. The tonearm is motorized much like the MA1 mentioned above. Very smooth and soft tomearm movement. Not clunky or cheep feeling like the mechanical ones.
I've got my eye on a Technics SL-10 TT being offered for sale but it has been in stored in a closet for about 25 years. The owner says it has low hours on it but has not fired it up in years. It is all original with packaging, manual and cables.

What should I be on the look out for with a TT being stored for so long? What steps should be taken before I would plug and play the Technics SL-10?

I'm a novice when it comes to vinyl so I have no idea what to do and a search in the archives didn't provide me much results.

Thanks
Plug it in, select a record and hit play. If it was stored in its own box it should be fine and not require any cleaning or maintenance.
