hmm.. you should check it more closely before.. the rubber band may be dry and cracked, which is bad.. he may never have oiled the motor, and stuff like that... I've always preferred new stuff myself, but if you're getting used, check everything that could be broken through wear before buying since the laws are different for used stuff...

project audio picture
i have seen this thing in action a few times and it seems pretty wicked... for leisure listening, anyhow... it insanely spartan... and elegant like, and if i'm not mistaken, it's pretty cheap too...
it's manual in just about every sense of the word... no annoying tone-arm lifty function (excuse the technical terms... i'm sure if you go to school for six years you will figure out what i am talking about)... the stylus is gorgeous... it's belt drive, but the belt is easily accessible... you actually have to adjust the belt by hand in order to switch from 33 to 45...
i'm willing to wager this thing would hold up for a very very long time...

the reason why automatics bug me so much is that i really dig lock grooves... there are some artists who actually put effort into making them cool sounding, and i like to have them running as a base when i'm noodling about in a live setting... furthermore the more automatic parts you have, the more things there are to break...

I know what you mean. I had a shitty Fisher turntable way back, and I disabled the automatic "return arm" mechanics of it cause I wanted to hear the locked run-out groove on Keynell.
