Used turntable for a poor college student
I'm looking to pick up a used turntable on the cheap (under $100).
Any brands or models I should be looking at in particular? This turntable will be hooked up to a 1975 Marantz 2240, and I would like something to replace my really old, cruddy BSR changer--distorts like hell, and has a permanent cartridge. Thanks! |

You might be able to find a nice Dual changer (1218, 1219 etc.), or an AR turntable. You might also want to look at some low-cost more modern "DJ" tables like those from Stanton and Neumark. This turntable will be hooked up to a 1975 Marantz 2240, and I would like something to replace my really old, cruddy BSR changer--distorts like hell, and has a permanent cartridge. BSR turntables were pretty crappy when they were new. Upgrading sounds like a good idea. |

BSR turntables were pretty crappy when they were new. Upgrading sounds like a good idea. Agreed. On all counts. I bought my Pro-Ject One on eBay for just over the target price. I paid $120 with shipping. The one downside about staying under $100 is that turntables aren't cheap to ship. Plan on having to pay between $10 - 20 for shipment. Here are a few soon-to-be-ending auctions tht meet your price range: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ategory=32 83 Phillips 312. Pretty good sounding turntable for under $100. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ategory=32 83 Here's an old Dual 1218 that you might be able to steal. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ategory=32 83 This is an interesting looking thing that might very well be worth taking a chance on. After all, you can buy it now for less than $60 (don't know how much it would cost toship from Canada, but the Buy it Now price is $35. It has a pretty good cartridge as well, *if* it's a low mileage cartridge as described. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ategory=32 83 Here's a Micro Seiki that's at .06 with about 13 hours left. You might get lucky and get it for a really low price. It looks a bit dinged up so that might keep people from bidding on it. They made really good turntables. I also saw a Dual 1225 that you might do a search for. Anyway, that's a sampling of what's out there. I'd stay away from the flimsy skinny Japanese cheap turntables, which can be had really cheaply. Most of them were pretty thin sounding as well... |
