I got mine for trade. TBH I'd keep hunting it's just got some cheap feeling parts, the positives are you can easily do stylus upgrades & play Blind Papa G Johnson 78's.
You will notice a sound upgrade in detail as what you have now probably has a conical stylus.
I'd be patient and look for something better, 200 isn't bad I guess considering what they probably cost new now.
They are also fully manual.
my main issue with the one i have now is it's prone to skipping. particularly on the inner tracks on a few records i have.. which yeah the actual vinyl might have an issue, but they were brand new. replacing the stylus and giving them a good clean etc didn't fix anything. but i reckon it's just the table, cos sometimes it gets through these tracks no dramas. just a bit a temperamental.
it's a fun game searching for bargain stuff though. not the worst hobby.
ive got a bunch of CDs that are at my mums place for years which i want to grab at some point. streaming is boring.
