I lucked out on this table. I bought it from a local guy who had listed it on Craig's List for $49 (and he even insisted on giving me change when I gave him $50). I had to have a couple other minor things addressed, so it has probably cost me about $100 total, but I really like it. Knock on wood, everything works and its average speed is a constant 33.28 rpm.
Way back in 1978 when I was 13. I got my first "real stereo" as a Christmas present. I went with my mom to the Tech HiFi used and demo store in Waltham, MA, and they directed us to a $400 system. The turntable was the entry level (347?) of the same series. I remember seeing the higher end versions at Tech HiFI and thinking "Some day!" But moved on to other brands over the years. So, when I saw the listing for the 877, I jumped at it for this secondary system set up and it brings back fun memories.

"If you are the owner of a new stereophonic system, this record will play with even more brilliant true-to-life fidelity. In short, you can purchase this record with no fear of its becoming obsolete in the future."
