Damn what a story.
For myself I definitely feel I'm living dangerously with my DD turntable. I have a Concept 2QD TT that has a busted foot but other than that it works really well right now. The company that made this TT went out of business a long time ago and parts I believe are scarce. I was a little overzealous about the table and I overpaid for it. If something were to go wrong it would be expensive to repair and I'd be reluctant to pay for the repairs. So while I'm enjoying the music whenever I play the 2QD now I'm keeping my fingers crossed it will survive as I save up funds for a less complicated TT. If it were to break down I'd sell it for parts.
