Best value in a vintage Luxman TT

I am hoping to find a nice DD Luxman turntable to mate with a Luxman integrated amp. I have done some reading, but interested in which models AG members would recommend to me to look for. I am pretty sure it will be in the PD-2xx series. I am thinking a later model, but also would like one with the Micro Seiki sourced arm.  (Not sure if there are limited models with that arm) Is there a sweet spot in the line where prices are not crazy and reliability is good? Thanks

 

I am definitely becoming a fan of Luxman gear.....

I've just purchased another Vintage TT through this web portal in the link.

I have 10 TT's purchased to date through this method and portal and only have had one experience where I felt the service could have been better.

The TT in the link will need a little TLC as is the latest TT I have purchased going to need.

I know through experience aesthetically tatty does not mean mechanically or electrically the TT is wanting. I have had TT's looking nearly new, that have had tragic mechanical issues, these unwanted conditions can be met with any purchase from any vendor when it comes to a Vintage TT. 

Today I buy as cheap as I can and let those who understand the Brand/Model to breathe on it and give the TT a chance to deliver with a modern thought process and modern edge applied to the function.  

The link might appeal or not.

The PD 444 with Tonearm in the link sold for $870, the Tonearm will have most likely sold on for $300+ if it was not wanted to be put to use.
