There are actually 3 for sale. 2 80's tables that actually sound decent, and 1 older suspended one that looks pretty well put together, but I haven't heard it.On the other hand, there is a Micro Seiki DQ-3 listed with a Shure V15 type 4 cart that is completely superior. You may be able to get it pretty cheaply.
It features a state-of-the-art direct drive system giving you total platter isolation, rock-solid speed stability, the exceptional MA-707 tonearm, and a select plywood plinth and finish.
It current sell's for around $350 US, and is as good as your going to get for the price. Add a michell clamp for best results.

No doubt a Micro would be a much better choice if repairs or
lack of enter the equation. Plug, play, and forget?
Which models do you recommend?
Besides the DQ-3, there's the BL-51 ($3-500), BL-51 X (air, oil, spring damped feet $5-700), DD-40 (direct-drive, most common, $150-350), and the DQ-50 (direct-drive, least common, $500 with non-funtioning pneumatic feet to $800 in good shape, check condition).All of the above models are affordable, hi-end manual tables.
Thank's; hell of a site, how did you find it? Didn't show up
on Google or maybe I missed it. Surprising # of different models;
and those you mentioned are the ones to shoot for?
Yes. I also recommend the DD-40 as well as the BL-10X as bulletproof semi-auto's.
I assume it's fully manual? Wonder why the seller doesn't know that since he claims he was the original owner?
It's fully manual. He probably hasn't used it in years.
