Do they make affordable record players nowadays that aren't garbage? I've seen the Chinese things on eBay for under 50 but that's basically what I already have...
The player I have that won't turn on is a marantz 6100... Anyone know if it's worth having it looked at for repair? Do people even repair record players anymore?
When you say it won't turn on, what do you mean? Does it get power? I just had an old Pioneer I pulled out of storage, and because it had sat so long, the belt had decayed and slipped off. I lifted the turn table straight up and removed the worn belt....I ordered a new one online and put it on and it works like new....belt was about $4...
edit: after further thought I seem to recall it was around $7 IIRC
