... With the caveat that I guess that it needs some work, but it's only $20! I always thought these tables looked very cool, but I wonder if that's reason even though to own one. Is it likely to be anywhere near the quality of table that that my Technics SL-1300 is? Are these kind of tables pretty easily serviced with pretty typical issues; can I get a new cartridge for it that's worthy and doesn't cost a fortune? If I buy this thing, is it most likely to be sitting in my basement never getting used because it's too difficult and too expensive to fix... are parts for this kind of thing available?
I kind of want to get a better phono cart for my Technics at some point so as long as I'm doing that I could buy one for this B&O and if the sound quality was decent, I think that I'd really dig that James Bond/Clockwork Orange looking machine on the top of my stereo deck, it might be a good investment... or not?
Note: I messaged the seller who seems to be unwilling to get back to me with details of issues or what kind of cartridge it needs so it would really be a bit of a gamble on my part, but only to the tune of $20. The ad does say, "works but needs some love."
