Inexpensive Good Vintage Turntables?

Believe it or not Vestax DJ decks with new tonearms are on a par with the Technics SL1200. they are dismissed due to the DJ Deck aesthetic (which i actually like). Brilliant bass. 

What country are you in?

@beartunes I might be interested… if you go through Bend you drop it off with a friend.

aholmz thank you for the Bend OR suggestion. I do have family and friends there. I'm sure you're aware those Sota's weight a ton. To do that much schelpping I would not be interested in a casual looker, nor would I leave it there out of my care.

Kind regards,

Here's a top view photo. It has been meticulously cared for.

let's see if this produces a photo of the vintage Sota.

Reacting to the ’vintage’ post, there are more older tables that performed well; not SOTA for their era, but may have gotten matched with a ’so-so’ arm and cart.

I’ve an older Marantz table that I intend to mate with a tangential arm, cart subject to budget and reasonable ’returns’ for it as a whole ’performance concept’. *L*

(SOTA is a state of mind, imho... ;) ...There will Always Be Better...*G*)

Have an old Rabco SL8 (...yes, go and cringe....it’s ok...) that could be subject to the plethora of mods for grins....but a diy tang arm is not out of consideration...

"I have the technology..."
The time?

*meh*L*

Pivot arms will be rejected.
Like you, I have my preferences...*S*

And, it hinges on your expectations, as usual....
