the systemdek is definitely a nice 'table - spend ~$500 for the o-l tone-arm mod & dc motor/power supply mod, & ya got a hi-quality rig for not much $$$. i got a o-l rb250 & the motor kit for my oracle, & it's great.
good luck, doug s.
How to improve my old Systemdek?
I have an old Systemndek IIX w rega 300 arm ca 1988 and w a new Ortofon om 10. I have plans to put it in my system again. What improwments do you recommend for around 500$. Rewiring and a better cartridge? How good is this player compared to new budget players around 500$
