I'll try not to post the long story again...
I'm a fleamarket/thriftstore vulture, every now and then i buy a vintage TT, fix it up and either add it to the collection or sell it.Personal experience top 3 thriftstore TT, all good:
Luxman PD-284 DD
Dual 704 DD
Thorens Td166 beltdriveOther personal experience (thrift or not):
Thorens Td145mk1,mk2,TD150mk2(sleeper!), TD125mk2/SME3009(not cheap but great TT)
Dual 1228(fun but not audiophool)
Philips 312(same)
Pioneer Pl-12D, get one with a quiet motor, fun, good PRAT
Lenco L7X idler wheel TT, you can make a monster TT out of these
Technics SL-B2 beltdrive, plastic fantastic but listenableOther vintage TT, no personal experience:
Thorens Td160/147/320
Dual 600/700 series, 1249
Sansui 222 mk3/4, 525 maybe
Dual 505 with the wooden plinth
Philips 729
Micro Seiki BL-51 and up(getting expensive though)
Denon DP47 and up (same)Try to see the TT with your own eyes before buying. Check the motor, main bearing, arm bearings, switches, contacts. DD TT should turn steady on the strobe, if it doesn't keep the speed properly don't buy it. Check the availablility and price of parts before you buy.
The better vintage TT are getting up in price but if you look hard you still can find one cheaper and better than a new TT.
Oops i did it again to quote Britney, i posted the long story again...Greetings Freek.
