Wow, a fellow likes his older B&O turntable and so many of you are telling him to ditch it. If he's not comfortable repairing it I would advise to send it to a B&O specialist for a full service at this point.
What would a new table cost that could replicate it's functions and great looks? Oh yea, not happening but if they could still make it, cost would be easily between 5 to 10K. An investment to have it totally serviced by a B&O expert is a no brainer.
I happen to like vintage Japanese TT like my two arm Victor. Show me a table that can compete with it for under 5K. My total investment with a rebuilt drive is well under 1K and that includes two very nice tonearms.
@alaskabluesman, send it off to get repaired and a full service, should out last you. Don't listen to these guys unless you have VERY deep pockets. It will cost plenty to buy a better table new.
