If you were to choose from these, which one and why?

For sure, They’re not quite Garrard/Thorens pricy but getting there…..

^ especially 16” ones!

I wouldn’t overlook the Idler Reks unless they have that General Industries death cube motor. Though idler tables need a lot of work to be quiet, but are worth it for that “slam”. Any turntable with a Papst motor is worth saving.

I kinda like the quartz countertop look……

What is your opinion on the round Universal Electric Co Motors? I know Papst are the most desirable but may be very hard to come by.
 
Perry you need the good stuff mix them two liquid crack

They are pretty decent, run quiet, cheap. The one I have has sticky grease in the bearings and takes a minute to get up to speed. They don’t come apart easily but have oil holes for the bearings, according to Joseph Esillma’s ROK blog you can force WD-40 in them with compressed air. I have enough stuff laying around to put together another Rondine B-12 if I wanted to…..

Not me...... I stay away from the booze. I'll knock back some brews and maybe a Cpt and Coke once in a great while. I try to stay out of trouble and keep the liver from quivering.
 
Only idler I have still is a Garrard model A. Its just a shelf piece, I would never play any of my records on it though it still runs ok. I had an 80 with the wooden tonearm to that did not really impress me
