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.

You have a very capable performer.

For 5K I think you stick with what you have since you need a new cartridge anyway. Do some research on reputable Linn experts and get your table brought up to snuff with part of your funds. Then spend the rest on a great cartridge.

There is no way you can spend the 5K on a new table + new arm + new cartridge and beat what I suggested.
