Even a mid 80's Kenny KD-12RB belt drive semi auto was not a shabby deck for all the plastic plinth etc it had and I "suffered" it for 22 years and a few belts (4) but never broke down or anything, I did keep it oiled in the platter though. The last belt was last January, and it took out the noticeable wow when I checked its speed with a speed wheel, otherwise, it worked well.
The ONLY issue was the little piece of foam that went up against the pin that the arm mechanism used to push back the tonearm when shutting down disintegrated and the glue that held it in place kept sticking to the arm's pin and when it pulled back, it would pull the arm towards the record with a scritch as it lowered. A piece of cotton swab for removing makeup solved that a few years back.
Doubt most modern Chinese/Taiwanese budget tables will last nearly as long these days.
Given a decent cart and phono stage, that old Kenny didn't sound too bad/horrible. :-)
