Am I getting a good deal, Yea Forums?

Why's that? If the belt breaks new ones are ten bucks

I should specify I'm talking about old turntables. New belt driven ones are mostly fine, there's nothing inherently wrong about them or anything. It's just that when it comes to old electronic equipment, unless it's already been serviced, you're basically required to open the fucker up and replace the belts. Belts are still being made in some cases, sure, but they won't always, meaning it's essentially a ticking clock of the machine no longer being reasonably serviceable. In my experience, the best vintage tables to work on are well constructed direct drives simply because of how easy they are to fix.

>open the fucker up and replace the belts
>lift the platter
your experience seems to be pretty much nil. enjoy your hum

You're either a zoomer with no experience or just a mong if you unironically think that it's always as simple as just lifiting the platter. Go open up a Dual table from the 70s and then get back to me.

>you dont like my sweeping generalization? let me be more of a dick
I have a 504, its easy. kys

> complaints about sweeping generalizations while also making sweeping generalization about how easy it is

Are you this retarded by choice, or as a result of some horrible accident?

whooo. you angry
stick with your "experience" then

The only person who seems remotely angry here is the guy who's been spazzing out after somebody implied that shity over-engineered turntables from 40 years ago aren't your best purchasing option. Enjoy cleaning disintegrated plastic group out of your table as the rest of us in the civilised world just enjoy the music.

*plastic goop, whoops

sure pal
>makes generalization.

just cause you find basic shit difficult doesn't mean everyone does

I honestly can't fathom how dense you must be. It's not a generalization, belts degrading and needing replacements is just a fact of those turntables. I get that you doing needless work on something is a way for you to get your smuggie points in, but most people don't want to fart around with belts when there exists better options, which was my entire point. Grow up.

I'm in the opposite boat, Yea Forums.
Vinyl has been a shitty expensive hobby I took up and I don't want my turntable anymore. How do I get rid of it and hopefully make some money back? I don't even care if it's $100 at this point.

so mad you forget the original point.

if you go to the right record store you can dump your whole collection for good money
otherwise just try and pawn it off to some dumbass that's """""into""""" vinyl

Same here user but I got out before it got too bad.

Is English your second language or something my dude?

I've already gotten rid of the vinyl I didn't want. All that's left is stuff like RSD exclusives and my Floral Shoppe vinyl. I'm stuck with the Audio Technica though. Do record stores hassle you about the calibration and shit like that?

whatever you need to think pal

I don't need to think anything, my dude. I know that what I said was correct, and your seething won't change that. gg

>Do record stores hassle you about the calibration and shit like that?
depends where really, but when i was working at one and people would bring shit in that was messed up i would just turn them away unless it was something really sweet. i would just make sure yours is working fine, most buyers aren't super picky, and most of the time they can fix a problem.

ok pal

Glad you agree. Take it easy.

Not agreeing, letting you shut up before you have an aneurysm
Add it to the list of things you can’t fathom

God it took you 45 minutes to come up with that impotent of a comeback? Jesus Christ.

Looks like it hit a nerve though

Again, the only nerve hit was you spending like 2 hours desperately trying to defend objectively inferior turntables.

Or you trying back down from being either so stupid or lazy that you find a trivial task like changing a belt “difficult”
I guess you can’t be called lazy with all the goal post moving, so it must be just stupid
Sorry I left you all alone Larry, I was driving

What goalposts are you even talking about? My point has been the same this entire time, and in fact I've had to restate it several times because apparently the synapses that would allow you to understand something so monumentally trivial aren't firing today or something.
Don't you have a Steve Hoffman thread to bitch on or something?

Go back and read your own post then, o got better things to do than explain your own sloth to you.

Yeah, that was my original post, where I said that belt drive turntables are objectively worse than direct drive. You've yet to counter that in any meaningful way. I've got better things to do than try to slowly explain English syntax to some ignoramus.

Yeah I'm certain you've got better things to do than try to understand his argument like lose an argument for hours on end lmao

I’m making dinner
>his
Nice one
