Hello all, Looking at this Hitachi ht-67 Direct Drive Turntable, good condition, not sure about the cartridge. Is this a decent turntable what is a fair price for this? Thanks!

Those were good entry level tables...actually not bad..better than most in that catagory....what did you give for it?
-
Considering making an offer on it. They want $200 which I think is way too much.

Keep looking vickievinyl....I've seen those in the 40-75 buck range lately...A week ago I saw one in 'very good' shape for 85... Local buy though...

Kind of a latter-day effort; looks OK but manage one's expectations.

Thanks guys, I'm going to pass on this one. I would like to upgrade from my Kenwood KD 3070 which seems to be a better table than the Hitachi. I'll keep looking.

That 3070 is hands down a better piece of equipment than that HT67 you were looking at...build quality is superior...What kind of upgrade were you thinking of? What is your budget?

Hi Msabot, Yes I think so too! I bought it on Ebay for a fair price with a Pickering TL-3 cartridge, and replaced the stylus with a Pickering NOS stereohedron stylus, so it is a quality TT. If I could get another quality TT at a fair price, I would use that in my second system. Not in any hurry to buy one, just thought if I could get a quality TT at a reasonable price, I'd go for it. Ideally I would like to spend no more than $150.

That's a good set up...I have always had a sweet spot for a nice auto TT...I've had my old Dual 1229 since 73... Could never part with it..bought new for around 275 I recall...of course,I've had it worked over a couple of times since then...now my main workhorses are a Music Hall and Sota...but still run the Dual from time to time..Just keep looking..bargains are out there...
