Hi All, I’m new to the forums so I apologize im advance as im sure that this topic has been posted many times. I recently got really into vinyl and am looking to upgrade my current turntable. I was given an Audio-Technica LP60 as a birthday present a while back but am looking to finally upgrade to something more serious. It’s a fine entry table I’m sure, but it spins at improper speeds (too fast at first then I manually adjusted it but it’s become too slow- such a pain!) has anyone else had this problem? I don’t really know where to begin as there seem to be so many options. Ive heard that tables from the ‘70s-‘80s are the best. Is this true? My uncle (who sadly passed away semi recently) left behind his B&O Beogram 3000 from the 70s. Unfortunately it’s not in working condition so I would need to get it fixed. Is it worth it try and get it fixed or better to just buy a new one or working used one? And if so, any advice on what to look into? I greatly appreciate any and all help. Music is my life and I can’t stand having improperly sounding albums because my table isn’t up to par! matthew
