Yeah, it’s more for fun than anything else. Still, hoping to get some decent sound. I used to own one of these tables back in the day. My lps were destroyed in a flood at the dawn of the CD era but I stubbornly hung on to the tt and moldy bad smelling albums, even though they were unplayable, for a few years. I came home from work one day and found my kids using it to launch Beanie Babies airborne. Hey, at least someone was getting use out of the table

My 90 year old in laws are downsizing. They have offered me their turntable, which probably hasn’t been used since 1990. I’m not a vinylista, but I do have a Project Phono pre amp with usb output, and I have identified a few albums in a local resale shop that have never been digitalized that I would like to hear. First step would be to just play the albums, then I may try to record them to a flash to transfer to my Melco NAS.
I’ve been warned that the belt may be rotted out at that vintage, and I wouldn’t risk the stylus on any vinyl, so I am contemplating a decent but not to expensive mm cartridge, and that, along with any other useful advice, is what I seek to find here. Any thoughts?
