the stantons are on ebay all the time.

i am about to buy my first turntable in 30 years.
the technics sl-220 i bought in high school won't maintain
a constant speed. i even tried a new belt - not stable.

so i'm going to grab a refurbished stanton direct drive
for about $140. i'd love to get something better, but i
just can't justify $400+ for something that won't get
used that much.

i've got about 1400 pieces of vinyl [not including the
archive from the record label i worked at for 15 years.
that would add another 500 pieces or so]. that includes
a ton of 12" singles from the early-mid 80s. i probably
have 30 12"ers by siouxsie and the banshees alone, plus
another 30 by new order.

i'm buying hte turntable so i can put some of the vinyl
onto cd for records that have still not been issued on
cd. lots of weird european electronica and prog.
