you dont want belt drive

you want direct drive

you can get a decent direct drive for that cheap or cheaper. just go find a "dj store" online and buy one. if you are just listening to vinyls it doesn thave to be anything too fancy.

I have the one my parents have had for about thirty years. I'm surprised it still works. Really, if you just get something simple, it should last you a while.

i saw that, but it doesn't say if it's belt drive or direct drive. cool nonetheless, though.

Just get a fucking Technic SL-1200 and be done with it.
