Turntable Buying Advice

I have a vintage Thorens TD 166 mk 2 that has not been used on 13 years. It definitely needs a new cartridge and there is some motor noise? My budget if buying new would be $350 - $450 which puts me write at entry level. Should I refurbish the Thorens, or buy an entry level Project or similar table.

Thanks

Theorens' better than anything out there past $600.00 - $1,000.00 mark. Good advise all of you, fix the Thorens!

Go for it! Thorens over Orbit in a heartbeat. Do a little research on U-Turn Audio and you will find out that it's really an entry level turntable. Not bad at all for the introductory price of $180.00 but it won't outperform the Thorens.
