I can't help but agree that giving orphan TT's directly to vinyl enthusiasts who will treat them right is a better way to contribute to the well-being of society then risking them at thrift shops.
By all means donate stuff in general, but I've personally seen the kind of abuse delicate equipment often suffer at the shops. I once saw a rambunctious kid repeatedly stacking heavy books on the platter and spinning it around and then knocking them off. Another time there was a stack of TT wedged next to an organ, just piled one on top of another chaotically like a junk heap.
