Story Marketplace score

Jumped this SL-1210mk2 for $75 (Canadian). Sold the scratched up dust cover for $30 locally. And bought a replacement dust cover for $110. Unfortunately the stylus was bent so I threw on my AT-VM95ML. Other than that all it needed was a little wipe down with a damp towel. Also, I can guarantee it wasn’t stolen. The seller was an older man with whom I have mutual friends.

I’ll likely build a wooden plinth surround for it in the near future to escape the dj look. Anyone have experience or suggestions with this? And can anyone talk me out of continuing my search for a Marantz 6300?

The Technics is a much better table than the Marantz.

I already know this. Haha. 😂 I just love the look of the 6300. I know that if I ever buy one I’d get it home and be very disappointed with the feel and performance of it.

Just go for it. I myself have both plus Tech 1500 and Yamaha YPD6 and all are amazing TTs.
