I would wait and see if it is up to speed and running quiet. If all is ok save your money. The Nag should sound nice so just enjoy and clean it up abit if you must do something.
Help with Pioneer PL-707
I just bought one of these in perfect functional and quite nice cosmetic condition. Has a carbon fiber tonearm and a silent running direct drive motor.
Any advice on good mm cartridge matches? It came with an Audio Technica LS-400 that'll need a new stylus so I'm open to change.
Should electrolytic caps be replaced given the table is nearing age 30?
Would the table benefit from a professional refurbish (I found a shop in PA that specializes in vintage Pioneer tables)? Purchase price was $180, and I'd invest a bit more if it will extend the life of this table as it really seems well-made.
