Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's?


Howdy folks-

We’ll I’ve got the vinyl bug for sure. 6 months ago, I bought my first TT, a nice Technics 1200 GR along with some killer vintage MM carts like Audio-Technica, Stanton and a few Grace. I love my GR! I love that little silver bastard A LOT as a matter of fact. A couple weeks ago, my second table arrived, a minty fresh Luxman PD-444 from Japan. This is a Micro Seiki built TT and was the "tits" in the mid 70’s. I can mount 2 arms on the Luxman. I’ve got a nice Victor 7045 arm coming soon along with a Victor X-1IIe MM cart which work quite well together.

I’d like to add another Vintage TT from the 70’s or 80’s and probably phase out the GR. I like the look of the old Pioneer, Denon and Victor tables. I’d like to get a vintage table that can be serviced if needed, something I can add a sweet vintage arm too. 3 arms are better than two!

I’d like to hear suggestions and comments on some fantastic, cool as crap, vintage turntables that you think should sit next to the Luxman.

Thanks again for your help!

@chakster thanks, I already own the SAEC SS-180 mat.


SAES SS-300 or MICRO CU-180 :)
You mixed up the brands and numbers
JP just contacted me. My Victor TT101 is finished and ready to ship! Need to wait a couple weeks before he ships due to my domestic travel schedule. Can’t wait!
@chakster I've got a few vintage carts, arms waiting to mount. 
To use all of them you will have to make a carousel around tt-101 , lol @knollbrent

Took 11 month at JP’s lab

practically on a par with the greek kalends! LoL
luckily I learned to do it myself for repair turntables so that I no longer have to depend on anyone.
