Hey everyone,
Simple question I think. I acquired a super clean Mitsubishi LT20 turntable for free that mostly works - tonearm stops moving halfway across the record.
My question is whether I should keep this or sell it, and if I sell it, what might it's value be? I have a Project Debut Carbon currently and want to upgrade to something in the $1000-1500 range. Is this Mitsu LT20 comparable to something like that? I hear a lot about how nice it is, but honestly, listening to the first track on a few records it sounds unexciting unless more is wrong with it.
Thanks and hope ya all have a great day!

One was going for around £500 including shipping here: https://reverb.com/item/32867895-mitsubishi-lt-20-turntable-quartz-linear-tracking
I guess you'll need to consult the service manual re the tracking problem: https://elektrotanya.com/mitsubishi_lt-20_turntable.pdf/download.html
The problem will likely lie with a mechanical hitch in the linear tracking mechanism.

Thanks for providing the link Galu. I will check it out. So far I haven't gotten any further than verifying setup via the owners manual, which it seemed was never performed.
