Keep or sell Yamaha PX-2 turntable?


Here's my dilemma. I recently purchased an Acoustic Signature Challenger Mk3, mounted my VPI JMW 9T tonearm and Dynavector 20x2l MC cartridge. This combination so far is sonically the best setup I've heard in my home. My dad recently gave me all his old vintage gear and it includes a Yamaha PX-2 linear tracking turntable. I don't really need it since I have the Challenger Mk3. I really doubt the Yamaha could ever sound as good as the Challenger Mk3. Does anyone care to share any thoughts or want to convince me otherwise? Is there a good reason to keep the PX-2 or should I just sell it?

Anyone know a service center or tech for these? One of the ics may be shot - the automatic functions do not work. Rumors are this control IC is unobtainable.  Otherwise used manually the TT is very good indeed with an Ortofon Kontrpunkt B cartridge - no clogging.

Thanks everyone for the great feedback. I don't have a place to keep it set up permanently with my system, but I'll hook it up and demo it before I decide.

Why write off the Yamaha so soon before you even get a chance to hear it? Is it because it is not "audiophile" enough? You might be surprised.

Sell, sell, and do so quickly. Its value is declining each day. Technology moves ahead, leave your buggy whip behind.
Hook up the PX2 - you will be surprised how good theese older DD tables sound.

Good listening
