Hi,
I definitely think you should give at least one of 'em a spin. My understanding is that the platter bearings on these are sealed, so I would guess that maybe all you need is a new belt, if it even needs that. I love the sound of analog -- and there is so much available today in terms of cartridges. You can almost "pick" the sound you want at most budget levels.
Digital is convenient to be sure, and can sound quite nice, but I like all of the little rituals surrounding vinyl playback. Well, okay, maybe not record cleaning but at least the activity pays you back (rather handsomely, I might add) for your inconvenience.
If you have any difficulties getting 'em back up and running, give Kirk or Donna a call at SOTA. They are really nice to work with.
Cheers, Joe

- Keep on spinning! Actually vintage tuners do seem interesting. Hmmm. (nt) - JoeLip 21:43:58 03/13/08 (0)
