my oldest turntable is a Lenco L-70 bought in 1968 for $75. It is replinthed in a heavy plinth, has a replaced idler wheel, a sapphire thrust plate, and a DIY Schroeder clone tonearm. Works great.
My NEWest turntable is a 1976 DUAL 701 -- that I picked up at a pawn shop in the 1990's for $20 (included 2 cartridges - a SHure V15 III and a Pickering XV15-750). It needed a little TLC but it has been replinthed into a heavy plinth to match the Lenco, and I am just finishing a DIY 12inch Schroeder clone tonearm for it to use with an MC cartridge, just for comparison purposes
Both leave me wanting nothing else, and chuckling at the multi $100,000 cost of the monster turntables reviewed in Stereophile. Quiet, dead on speed, and great sound... good enough for my modest vinyl collection.
