Found a Technics sl 1300 that has motor issues for $50. Not sure how hard or expensive a motor is to put in. I was told to stay away from Thorens and Bang and olfussen. I found a bang and olfussen at pawn shop but I think they wanted a lot of money for it.
I don't know why you always think I'm in school. Been done with school for awhile. Should go back though. lol I was at the same job for many years, and it was leading me no where, so I told them to pretty much fuck off and I quit. Are you hiring?
