I decided on the middle-of-the-road Technics SL-1500C.

Iโ€™m nearly done setting it up, feels great to get back into vinyl. ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

If you have an original you should think about modernizing the power supply. Those caps are well past their use by date and voltage regulation has come a long way.

I used to do this as a side gig/hobby when I was off from my main job.

I built my dream TT from 45 pounds of concrete, a destroyed 1200, carbon fiber tonearm, and a custom power supply. The motor and gimbal were still good.

Yep, I long ago recapped it.
