RE: Your thoughts on these old decks

The Philips was a budget deck that punched above its weight. You can get a decent sound out of it, but as you see, lots of plastic.

Back in the day, I lusted after the Technics and it should be competitive today. Although the technology did improve, the Technics is extremely well built and also looks extremely cool in a pro-tech kind of way. I believe they were used by radio stations when current. Technics always had great bearing in their tonearm, so as long as you match the mass you should get great sound. Many of these had aftermarket tonearms. They were built like a tank and meant to take abuse. It is the most likely one to be functioning properly.

Don't no much about the Pioneer, but they were always competitive in their price range.
