Technics SL-2000 vs Technics SL-D310

Greetings everybody,
yes, this is another one of those "which entry-level turntable should I buy" threads.
I'm from Slovenia where the market for turntables is relatively scarce and good deals are pretty hard to come by.
I checked on the internet for the SL-2000 and SL-D310 and they both seem to me as decent entry-level turntables. The latter is being offered for 45 euros and the SL-2000 for 75 euros. I haven't gone to check them out in person but if they are both in good condition, which one should I get?

I am mostly looking at Technics TT, since there is a guy in my vicinity that sells parts for them and fixes them (I am not much of a technical wiz).

Thanks for every comment

They should both be decent turntables, just different.

I don't know what your preference is, but be aware that the SL2000 is fully manual in operation, and the SL D310 looks to be fully automatic.

The SL2000 uses standard 1/2" mount cartridges, so you have many more options for upgrades/replacements. I can't quite make out what cartridge is currently on it.

The D310 is P mount only, so that limits your cartridge options, but it is much easier to set up. It currently has a pretty well regarded cartridge on it. A replacement stylus is likely all that's needed.

I currently have an SL2000, and while not being high end by any means, it is a decent table capable of sounding very good. But I don't think you would really go wrong with either.
