Denon DP-60L?

Sorry if my first post was a bit caustic.  I would say that you got the DP60L at a very fair price, for $300.  I would say that if you were to spend another $300 or so on it, in order to put it into tip top condition, that would not be a bad investment.  And if you're going to use it for years, then you could even justify spending a bit more. These Denons used some discrete transistors that have proven to be problematic and can be replaced with modern, more reliable equivalents.  Further, they operate off of a single IC that is hard to find, if it fails.  Leaky capacitors can lead to failures of any of those parts, which is why I urge you to do the capacitors.  If your tech is really knowledgable, he could also upgrade the transistors while he is in there.  (The caps and transistors are cheap; the cost is all labor.) If you don't want to spend the bucks, keep an eye out for a DP75 or DP80.  Those don't have a built-on tonearm but are one step up from the DP60 in terms of function as a turntable. They are also undervalued in this market.

@lewm Thanks for the excellent reply. I think I might push the fact of the caps and transistors being updated. He was saying it would be in the $150 range for caps. So with my RCAs installed, new caps/trans and a cover polish I might be in for under $300 and I'll feel more confident with it going forward. I have two Pro-Ject tables and they just don't feel as solid and smooth as this Denon. Thus they are now FS. I actually spotted the 60L when I was going to buy a minty 51F and ended up buying both. I'll put the 51F in my family room. Everyone can enjoy some smooth vintage auto there. :)

asahitoro, did you end up getting the rca jacks installed? Did they have to cut away some of the plinth? I am very tempted by a 60L locally and would want to install rca jacks as well. I'm very curious to see yours and know what they had to modify on the plinth to do it.
