Should I retire my Harmon/Kardon T60?

I'm the original owner of a H/K T60 which I purchased 20 years ago.
I just bought a new belt and a new Grado Platinum cartridge but thought that now might be the time to retire my beloved T60. It still works great, though.
Should I?
If I do retire the thing, how much do I need to spend to get a MUCH better sounding TT?
For reference, I recently purchased all NEW Arcam FMJ products and the preamp has a phonostage.

Thanks for the responses.
Recently, I brought my T60 to a local Manhattan hi/fi shop for a "tune up" at Harmon Kardon's suggestion.
Although the unit sounds great, I wasn't surprised that the salesman attempted to sell me a VPI Scout, Scoutmaster or Superscoutmaster.
Assuming I keep my existing Arcam FMJ electronics (which contains a phono card) and my Grado Platinum cartridge,
are these VPI machines that much better?

Tubemanic:
Thanx for your thoughts.
Whatever I decide to do, I do plan to keep the T60.
I have read some nice things about the Nottingham turntables.
