I guess its what is your sound quality you like now ? If its a lower end setup and you are all about listening without caring about having higher end components then go for it with a 2nd hand deck. I will be jealous as for most of us its an addiction of pursing a near impossible dream of perfection.
I brought a 2nd hand Linn LP12 just over a year ago as I still have all my original vinyl, 1500 albums, and I'm quite disappointed in the sound reproduction compared with what I am getting from digital nowadays (Tidal and Flacs). I then brought a 2nd hand Rega RP8 with a decent cartridge on it and its better but still the digital is superior in my setup. I need to do some cartridge and maybe phono amp upgrades to bring it into parity which alone will be $1000's .. so at this point its not a priority.
I say, if you have a decent system stay with digital, listen to your old albums on a streaming service.
