Which budget turntable will provide me the best service?


I recently aquired a sizable collection of albums, but do not have a turntable. I have found a shop that has a used MMF-2.1 and a Vestax BDT 2000 for sale at the same price (~$230. I can screen for sound, but being new to this realm of audio I don't know what type of screening checklist I should have in mind for auditioning a turntable for structural/mechanical integrity(?). Any thoughts? Any experience with these units?

The turntable I'm currently using, a Miida 70's era model 3115 (Ac drive direct drive table) just sold for 27 bucks on Ebay a week or so ago. When it comes to turntables, don't forget ebay!!! People get rid of top dollar tables from yesteryear (and which are still very good ya know) all the time because they are just cleaning out attics and garages and assume the record players are just old useless relics
