If it still keeps speed and sounds good maybe just replace the thrust bearing (easy to do) for <$20.
You should also clean and re-oil the well while you are @ it (use Singer sewing machine oil).

Pioneer PL-41
Have had this Pioneer for about 10 years, and it's time for a change. Didn't know if there were any vintage specialty shops that might be interested in taking it off my hands. I am not much of a tinkerer, and in my hometown we have lost the only guy who could work on it for me. Still sounds great, just time for a little tune up. Not looking to get rich by selling it. If anyone has any recommendations that would be much appreciated.
