Curious about Russco turntables in a home setting

Don't know alot about turntables. Use to run Duals til I came across my current Denon DP59 moving coil cartridge. Wonderful sound but merciless on slightly flawed vinyl. Just came into pair of Russcos but at a loss to what I have other than old studio DJ equipment. Is this potentially adaptable (let alone worth doing it in a home surrounding with either my Carver M500t, Crown DS 300 series 2 or Hafler DH 220 amp with either my Carvers or Nad preamp. Of any value as far as burning vinyl to CD?

Bornin50 gave you the link to my Russco project page. I like it a lot, but I think it needs to be couple to a very high-mass base to get the most out of it. I have read stories of disco DJs mounting them in bricks in the 70s. Look at the size of the motor, compare it with other "domestic" turntables, and that gives you a hint.

But I'm a nut, and don't mind having a turntable that is bigger than my television. It makes me happy.
