Wow, does that bring back memories. That was my 1st TT with a Magnetic Cartridge. I still have a dozen or so records that were played on that table. Machine Head, Tapestry to name a couple. Nice vintage find.
Rekindling my affair with audio (sold all my bachelor gear when I started my family).
Starting vinyl experience with a Technics 1300 and a Pioneer PL 518( for comparison, had a Rega P3 when I was young and foolish). Swapping a Nag MP 110 between the two for now. Both are spinning nicely but making a few tweaks, beginning with a recabling for both (Blue Jean LC-1 cable). I am certainly having fun!

I have finished my Thorens TD 125. It looked horrible when I first got it. Had the SME 3009 Improved arm restored and then added a new plinth, armboard, painted the deck and platter, all new springs, aluminum cups, foam and other doo dads I topped it with a new dust cover.

I was gifted a Linn K9 cart when a friend moved on to a MC cart.....not having a turntable where i am staying on holiday for a few weeks, and did not want to spend too much cash...i bought (don't laugh) a Music Hall USB1 TT & attached the Linn K9...then ,using a pair of AudioEngine 2 powered speakers...when down to the local(very good) record shop & purchased 5 lps....YES! the sound of vinyl came thru in full bloom...that Linn cart made that cheap TT sing!...

I don;t want to be giving away my best fishing holes, but the Pickering is right up there with the V-15 III and markedly better than the V-15 II.
I like variety in carts but when I found something that did everything right ;like an XSV I didn;t feel the need to go any further unless it's a >$500 type cart and a whole higher level.

I have a Garrard Model 50 circa 1967 in absolutely " Pristine " condition with a Shure Cartridge
A Technics SL-D303 circa 1981 in Mint ( Like New Condition ) just purchased an Audio Technica VM 740 ML Cartridge with Alluminum Alloy cast cantilever and body with the trade mark " Micro Line " Stylus , having this cartridge mounted , aligned and balanced next week on my D303.Can't wait to hear what this cartridge will sound like. It's replacing the original ADC Series 1 Cartridge that came with the TT , so , it's a tremendous upgrade. I'll post a review after I give this baby a nice listen.

Oops, meant to add that this completely restored 401 has recently replaced a modest Pro-ject. Tonearm is Reed 3P, Hana EH cartridge, plinth by Chris Harban (Woodsong Audio).

In a momentary moment of madness, I had given my entire audio system away to a friend a few years ago for free. Later, I got it back, minus the turntable, but otherwise intact. I needed a TT replacement and about that time my brother-in-law had one he was about to take to Goodwill. He gave it to me as a (temp) until I could find another I liked. I liked this one so much I still have it and have not bought another. The TT is not a 'high-end' one, but it is a solid performer and really all I need anymore: a Denon DP-7f automatic. I like the fact that I can control the functions with the dust cover down. The performance is adequate to my Pioneer 780 receiver and the speakers I now have so....it's what I have until I find another Pioneer to replace it

Had my new Audio Technica VM740ML cartridge mounted and tonearm balanced per new carts specs 1.75 grams and had my TT serviced , brought it home , hooked it up , made a bottle of cleaning solution for my Discwasher cleaning system and WOW , what a difference a good quality cartridge makes. I've been hearing instruments from my vinyl that I have NEVER heard before and the bass so rich , deep and smooth. I absolutely love this cartridge. Back to some listening , TTYL
