Thanks Comet. I suspected I would have the spend more doe on a modern turntable to get a good performer.
I have owned 6 very capable vintage turntables (but not the td150) and they all had some kind of issue, either with speed consistency, cueing smoothness, or suspension. One was a suspended AR XB, but our townhomes truss floor joists are too springy so it skipped relentlessly (a wall shelf is not an option).
The VPIs do seem really nice, and I suspected it would cost this much to get a good performing turntable, but they are out of price range.

Don't see how you could go wrong with the TD-150 for sale on the Asylum. Its been completely refurbished by one of the most knowledgeable Thorens vinylistas around (follow the link to read a description and see pictures of the restoration), has a beautiful custom plinth, and no longer has a 'springy' suspension. Seller's including a Herbie's mat and a DL-103 cart. The Jelco 370H is an excellent arm with oil damping ability. The table even has a KAB RCA jack plate. No dog in the fight here, but that's one very nice table, arm and cart. And not far from you. Whatever you choose, however, I wish you good luck.
It's for local pick-up only.
Probably another 'other coast' bias - ~250 miles is rather local to me. For that table, I'd drive that distance.
Sorry but traveling 400mi is too far
