Hello Im new. I got a Aiwa stereo turntable PX-860. Well my grandmother got it for me in 1999. But I have just found it and using it. Anyway hows the quality of it? Is the plastic platter ok or should I upgrade to a older turntable.
Thanks
Casey

You should go for another unit, preferably an old Thorens or something like that. That Aiwa thing is good for nothing.
Thats for the replay.
What a about a Sansui turntable model sr-4050c or a Mitsubishi Automatic Return Turntable DP-37B

Well I got a Mitsubishi Automatic Return Turntable DP-37B for $5.00. Hows that?

Well at least it's not plastic. Also If I buy a good cartrige and needle and a good preamp and belt. it should be a lot better then the plastic aiwa? shouldn't it?
No. THIS is an aluminum platter: 😀
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
To be serious: It all depends how far you want to go. Is that Mitsubishi "a good turntable" compared to what is possible or even desirable? I don't think so.
But: It costed you five bucks, that's a great deal. And if you put a new needle/cartridge on it, you will be able to listen to vinyl records and it will most probably be able to give you an idea why vinyl is such a great thing. Not a bad thing for the beginning.
