I found this turntable on Craiglist for $25, says it needs new belt and needle. I can't find any info about this table online. Anyone know anything about it? The LT-5V looks to be worth a lot, but what about this one? Appears a bit scratched on the window though. Think it's worth it?

Most dust covers can be buffed out, so that's probably not a big issue. Replace the belt and get a new stylus or cartridge and start spinning albums.
 
You must live in my area. Not the best , but not the worst mitsu either.You're looking at $20- $30 in belts, plus a stylus (or your own cart). I think they are nifty. I would buy it,but I've got too many projects already!If you want one ,buy it --- Now! I've never seen another around here. Oh, I forgot to mention,It ain't never gonna make you money.Just a cool new toy.

Seems like there is a fair amount of audio people around here.

Picked it up. Arm tracks fine, I hear motor running. Time to open it up and replace belts.
 
I had one back in the early 80's. Worked and sounded great, but it needs to sit on something steady. I put up a wall self for it pretty quickly.
 
The one belt deteriorated all over the inside. Cleaned it out. The original rubber feet deteriorated too, and are a huge sticky gooey mess. After about 30 mins of scrubbing the bloodb with various chemicals, I have the original feet gone.
Ordered a new belt, now I just need to find a new needle to order.

There are pretty deep scratches on the plastic window. Any way to remove them?
 
Looks pretty nice though. Still need to do a bit of cleaning. Stylus and belt should be arriving in a few days

That is quite a nice one. I had the X10 or something like that. It featured the same turntable, a cassette deck, programmable tuner, and pretty decent amplification. Very tight inside, so I sold it for what I paid.

Btw, about 3-5 years ago, they were fetching pretty good money for a fully functional unit. I would imagine they will come back in. They are really cool looking! I would have preferred finding yours over the all in one.

Yeah. Cant believe I got it for $20. $35 for new stylus, $15 for new belt, total of about $70. Cant wait to get the belt and stylus and try it out.
