I agree with Ferrari. The very worst thing about the large Japanese companies has always been their lack of support for their products. Even when they are current it is not good. When they are gone it is often nonexistent. I am biased toward VPI, as I am a dealer. There are many other turntables out there which are better than the Denon was in its prime which you can buy for little more than you would pay to fix it. Used tables are often a very good bargain [he says , cutting his own throat] especially those of superior quality. If you do not want to spend a great deal of money Thorens and Rega are usually very good for the money.
Denon DP-1200 turntable
I have not had this connected to my system in years...partly due to space restrictions and partly due to the platter rotates at a very high speed no matter how I try to control it. Years ago somebody told me it probably needs a new servo? In any case, to what repair price point should I go with this before considering a totally new turntable? There are not other defects that I am aware of and it's still in very good cosmetic condition. This was a better than average tt in it's time but I really have not kept up on these over the years.
