RE: Pioneer PL-12D ....

I have a PL-115D, which is very similar, and I have seen the PL-12D. I think any of these vintage Pioneer, Sansui, Kenwood, JVC, Technics etc. belt drive turntables would be very appropriate. They are well built, have nice arms, and are ignored by the audiophile community, so they can be had cheap.

Another table to consider is the Technics P-mount belt and direct drive tables. These came out in the late days of vinyl's supposed demise and are much better built than the competition. With a Shure, Grado, Stanton, Pickering or Audio-Technica P-mount cartridge, they can sound surprisingly good. If you can find an NOS Empire, maybe even better. They made a ton of these tables, so they are easy to find and cheap.
