He was talking about new turntables though. I was suggesting that new T62’s would be a similar price to used 1210’s, and that the used 1210’s are unlikely to depreciate in value, where new T62’s certainly would.
Unless you are getting a bargain like Panda did, where you get second hand TT’s so cheap that you can make money on them when you sell them, the all round safest / cheapest option (overall) are the Technics, as you should get back what you pay on the other end, therefore making them essentially free.
