My good friend in the late 60's bought a L75. It was Ok, but nothing spectacular. Probably on par with some of the cheap Dual turntables. I believe the turntable rotated by a couple of rubber wheels that moved the platter, ie. no belt or similar. If I recall correctly, the arm was not replaceable. I bought at Thorens 160 at the same time with belt drive. I felt it was superior then and still believe it is. Say an old AR, Thorens, etc would be a much better used buy.
