My best friend gave me her yp d71 turntable with tonearm and semi automatic play. It has easily adjustable vta.It is my second yamaha turntable. I am familiar with the technics turntables. I never owned one. I doubt that there is much difference. I think they are both direct drivie quartz locked design. It was the late seventies. The major difference was the quality of the arm and cartridge.
I plan to mount my benz glider and replace the cables.
