Linn Sondek LP12-Never been any other as good.

Mapleknoll Apollo, only 20 or so ever made by Bob Dilger.

Sony PSX800. Direct drive, Linear tracking servo-controlled arm, very complex electronics, goes against all the audiophile wisdom. But, it performs flawlessly. Sorry about that.

That Sony did not keep it's value. The original price of $850.oo list, and a resale in today's market of under $100. per Orion.
Some tables of the non-audiophile sort which HAVE held a major portion of their initial cost:
AR turntable two speed: sells for MORE than new price
Denon DP 37F ... still sells for over 90% of original price
Denon DP 59L ... On ebay heading for over 90% of list
Dual 1219 at 70% of original cost, A lot of midpriced Duals are holding their own at 50% to 40% original cost.
Kenwood KD-600 120% of original cost!!!
Pioneer are all worth next to nothing.. the worst resale of any. A $400 Pioneer table now sells for $32.
Sony is only a tiny bit better than Pioneer.
Technics is an odd make... a few good resale.. and a lot of dogs.
Yamaha is all junk too, except a few PF, PX prefexs, and even those are around 40% max resale.
So if you got that old AR... fire it up, and head over to ebay... :^)
Just some figures I have laying around for your enjoyment
