My pre-owned LP12 cost me $550 in 1985.
I also sold a very good condition Garrard 401 for $100 in 1987.
Of course, Telefunken ECC803S were $10 then.
blast from the past
Scanning punchcards for my website. Ran across a CC receipt from July 24, 1973. It was for my Dual 1229 turntable. Also mentioned was 1000 MEX. I assume that was a cartridge but don’t recall the brand. Purchased at Musicraft in Chicago. Price for the 2 was $225.00. My gross income that year was $14015. Thing cost me 1.6% of my income. 😊
