Lenco or new?

Posted by NB on July 13, 2017 at 10:24:01:
My good old (un)reliable Dual 1246 has finally given out on me. So someone I know is selling a Lenco L78 in good working order. I would not be modifying it, so I would be using a stock arm and my own Dynavector 10X5 cartridge. My question is whether it makes sense to go with this or if there is a new turntable for less than $500 (without cartridge) that would be better for me.
I have a beloved Mac 5100 and hope to upgrade my speakers from my B&W 601.3 to something full-range sometime soon. Any thoughts?
