Cheap Turntable


Hi:
In this moment I am short of money but I want to upgrade my turntable.

Could anybody suggest me the best possible turntable I can buy with about USD 400-500, I think second hand all included with tonearm and cartridge.

Something easy to resell when I will buy my real one by the end of the year, so I don't loose too much money.

Where to buy? Ebay? others? (I live in Europe so 230 V is a must).

Thank you

The Technics 1200 is well regarded and bulletproof. It's
not state-of-the-art but a respectable performer.

I've got a Technics SP-10 MK II with an SME IV arm/Denon
103D cartridge and it's likely the last turntable I'll ever
own. The 1200 is a step down from the SP-10 but still
excellent. It was sold world-wide (still is to my knowledge)
and can be found on the used market.

Of course it makes sense to buy a turntable on ebay if you go collect it in person.

The Pro-ject 'tables have a good reputation. Some of the 80's belt drives (Ariston, Systemdek) are available cheap used. The Technics SL1200 direct drive offers great speed stability and can be fitted with a Rega arm.

Check out the "Building high end 'tables at Home Despot" thread for inspiration using an old Lenco and if you are comfortable doing tweaks yourself think about an old Thorens TD150/160/125.
