Man... You just brought back some good memories for me. That PL12D was my first TT purchase and it really bettered the next two I had afterwards. But no room for a second table now for me.
I can't part with it; what should I do?
O.K. I know some of you are going to think I'm nuts (probably am) or a hoarder (definitely not). When I was around 16 years old (mid 70's) I bought my first stereo set-up; KLH model 7's speakers, Pioneer SX 737 amp, and a Pioneer PL 12D turntable (belt driven). I earned the money from mowing lawns! Now, I have a completely different and updated set up (VPI, Dunlavy, Krell). But I could never get rid of the Pioneer turntable. It's like that old baby blanket that I just never had the heart to let go. It's in pretty good shape, it still plays a record (though there is a bit of hum present). Is there a market for this type of table? (I think I still have the receipt). I'm tempted to even give it away, hopefully to someone that would appreciate and use it. I really don't think that is is worth much, probably not even the cost of shipping it. It's been at my wife's apartment, but she sold the apt. and is moving all her stuff in to our house, and there is no room for the table. I just can't take it to the curb. Any suggestions? Do you have a pet piece that you can't let go?
