any good turntables with repeat function

It is not a good feature to have. Playing a record twice in a row can damage it. Records viewed under a microscope after play show the heat of the stylus changes the shape of the grooves. They come back to shape in 24 to 48 hours.

try a vintage DUAL - should sound better than a BO

Jsbail, I think that I remember reading years ago high quality virgin vinyl (MoFi, DCC, Japanese vinyl, et. al) can be played repeatedly. Also, I seem to remember that in actuality, the grooves on inferior non-virgin vinyl returned to normal after 12 hours. Perhaps better minds than mine can refresh my foggy memory on this one.

Jdh9, I used a Kenwood KP 5022-A direct drive table that had a repeat function. This table was produced in the mid '70's. It kicked butt on the Technic tables from that era. I don't know if there are any modern quality tables with a repeat function. A CD player with repeat won't cut it for your listening pleasure, I take it?

no. don't even try if you have any valuable vinyl.

Thanks to all. I do have some valuable vinyl and thanks to your cautions, they will not be used with a repeat function. My aging knees increasingly rebel against getting up at inopportune times to lift the table arm.

I should probably start a new thread, but will ask this anyway: Are there good semi-automatic tables - those which lift the arm at the end of play? I think Thorens includes this function on some models but am not aware of other good turntable names which do.

I do use my SACD unit but also enjoy putting on some of my pre-cd vinyl.

Thanks again.
