I don’t play it much these days but it’s a very cool piece I’m glad I picked up when I did.

    no problem at all but if you want to know both brands you refer have in some years very good turntables but technics mostly in the 70´s were the best in turntables ,the one you bought in late 80´s at least i can tell you that this new projects and regas are all worst, this till around 1.000€ , if the technics you have is giving problems it´s only better to buy a second hand one from technics. Yamaha, they have good ones but they are rare and they might ask a lot of money ,Dual as good turntables the early 80´s ones were considered by many the best that was because all had ortofon cartridges ,even branded Dual but looking like the OM series which the old ones were very good today are just the cheapest they have, but not like those early 80´s ,thorens are very good but sometimes they ask a lot of money and some parts are missing and always expensive from this new wave the Fluance might be less expensive but for sure are better and you can always buy a better cartridge for it, with the money you buy a very bad pro-ject , technics even today they have a lot of good amplifiers and speakers ,in the 70´s they had everything good as any other brand some are even technics followers ,the dual they released in late 80´s or 90´s were very good but today they seem not good with the passage of time, NAD or new acoustic dimension i have a very good integrated amplifier from the 70´s also have a 1224 turntable from Dual as it´s amplifier , tuner and speakers(4ohms)it belonged to my grandmother it´s in mint condition and came with a shure cartridge, there are always good turntables in second hand, just have to look at their specifications and it helps if you ´re registred in hifiengine or vinylengine for free,they have catalogs from every brand very complete colections for one to compare now the old 2nd hand turntables with reviews and vinyl engine they talk about the turntables they use so it´s a detailed information about the most bought turntables and what are their weeknesses and which cartridges are the better ,a cheap one is the MP-110 , happy turntable improvement

      my dad had a Dual . I used it for a race track for my Hot Wheels. He also had Fisher audio from 1962-1965 . I was too young to know any better.
