Turntable Purchase?

I see a decent looking old turntable right now on ebay that ends in like 45 min. My question is should I cop this? Im sure the cartridge is replaceable if it should break.

or should i just get a newer turntable like a cheap numark or staton? which would be a better investment in the long run? thanks.

for purposes of sampling only.

edit: already bid and won. thanks.

i'd say anything thing made by technics would be a wise move for the long haul... what did you bid on?

nothing so far im keeping my eyes on two turntable from japan thats ending 1)23 min and 2)25 min

Vintage SANSUI SR-B200s Turntable Record Player NORES
Vintage-C-E-C-Chuo-Denki-Turntable

there is also a technic sl-b300 ending within the hour

thanks.

vintage sh*t is cool but, if you want duribility somthin newer would be your best bet. i guess it all depends on your price range tho

If its just for samplin then go with a numark, it would be fine

numark tt 200 should be ok.. for the purpose of sampling........

simply buy a technics SL1200 mk2...never had a problem with mine

get tech 12's i had mine for 26yrs they last for ever!!! you wont regret it!

technics is made by panasonic.


go to craigslist look there you might get a deal for two. plus you may even get TT's ,records.

yeah man, hit CL for a technics. I got a good deal on a Technics 1210mk2 with stanton trackmaster 2 needle and road ready case for $200. Dude advertised $275 but he was moving and needed to get rid of it. Dropped it off and everything.

yeah i already bought that vintage turntable off ebay $23.50. Wont be here for another two weeks - from Canada.

but im bouts to go to guitar center today and get a pt-01 - only to return it for a refund when i get my tt. Thanks for the input though.
