Upgrade old LP12 or buy a new table??

Hello everyone. I have a 20 year old LP12 that I bought when I was in college. My current LP12 consist of Ittok LVII arm, Trampolin base, and Cirkus bearing. It needs work as the motor is out of alignment as well as the usual wear. I'm sure I need a new cartridge as well. My question is should I get this table bought up to current or just buy a new table. I have heard great things about the VPI Super Scout Master Signature. I have been out of analog for a bit but have the desire to spin some LPs again.

Depends how much an upgrade would cost compared to how much you can afford and want to spend.

The LP12 was a fine turntable in its day but designs have moved on a lot since it was first created and it can be improved upon. If you've been out of vinyl for a while why not have some fun and go and audition a few alternatives.
