I have an old turntable that my Father gave me, a BSR 810 Transcription. When my Dad got it 30 years ago, it was supposedly a pretty nice machine, and I spent many an afternoon after school jamming to records playing on this machine. It has a heavy, machined platter and what looks to be a pretty decent tonearm with adjustments for stylus pressure and VTA.
The 'table still works, but it needs some upgrades, including headshell leads, tonearm cable, cartridge, and maybe even tonearm. My question is, is this old 'table worth an upgrade, or would I be better served spending my money on something newer? Thanks for any feedback.
