Vintage & classic turntables (78)

The classics people still hunt down second-hand — idler Garrards to Technics 1200s. Prices shown are typical UK used prices, not fixed RRPs — condition, originality and whether it's been serviced (new belt, bearing oil, cartridge) can move the real asking price a long way in either direction.

Common questions

Is a vintage turntable a good first turntable?

Only if you're prepared for the maintenance side — belts perish, bearings need oiling, and cartridges wear out, none of which is covered by a warranty on a decades-old deck. A new budget turntable is the easier first buy; vintage rewards people who either enjoy tinkering or are buying from a specialist who has already serviced it.

Why do typical prices vary so much for the same vintage model?

Condition and originality do most of the work — an untouched original with its factory arm and cabinet in good cosmetic order will fetch far more than the same model with replaced parts, cosmetic damage, or an unclear service history. Treat the typical price on this site as a midpoint, not a fixed value.
