During Covid I picked up a complete pioneer system for £55 off eBay. The jewel in the crown is the very nice PL512X that was part of the system. After a clean up, belt change and a little lubrication maintenance (new stylus as well) she runs like a dream.

Hi. I lurked on turntables for a long time as well.

Happy to help build up the community here. I’m by no means an expert on anything though, just an enthusiastic amateur.

I run a Fluance RT85 in my living room and a U-Turn Orbit in my bedroom (I backed them on kickstarter). Both of them run Nagaoka MP-110s.

I had a pair of SL-1200s 20 years ago so I understand the love of a Technics deck. I gave them to my little cousin who wanted to try being a DJ. Lol.
