I have recently started collecting records...



Buying a used turntable on eBay is very risky. I was in the audio business years ago, and I know from experience all the things that can go wrong. Most TT repairs are very expensive, and many potential issues are unserviceable now due to lack of parts. Back in the day, I really liked the upper end Duals, late style Empire and manual AR turntables. None of those fall into your budget in restored, guaranteed-to-work-like-new condition. I agree with the other posters regarding a new purchase.
