Pioneer vintage Classic TT (forgot the famous model number); five dollars at the Salvation Army (was $25 but I'm good at dealing).
* Audio Technica brand new cart for $100 ($150 retail).
Sony Linear Drive TT; five dollars also (brand new was $600 Cdn). ...I restored it myself, fixed the cable for the drive, put a new cartridge ($50 Audio Technica), and good to go.
Tra-la-la ....
P.S. Pictures? I'll post pictures of both sometimes.
But they won't be as pretty as the other ones though; and yet they still spin my albums with zest.
