   Hello ***HDK***,

   It is very tricky to purchase a turntable on EBay.

   Here is few tips of what you should be looking:

   -Anti-vibration belt driven plate
   -Vertical and lateral weight adjustment
   -Magnetic cartridge
   -Perfect stylus (a 30x view of a well pointed needle)
   -Dust cover
   -Ground wire
   -The unit must turn at 33 1/3 rpm (if not it could be a motor or extended belt problem)

   This should give you the maximum quality to read vinyl records properly.

   Good Luck !
