VPI TNT MkIII - pluses and minuses?

I'm considering a used VPI TNT MkIII. The seller says it was produced between '95-'98. I know nothing about VPI tables. What should be the reasonable value of such a VPI table that's reported to be in excellent condition?

And could the potential performance of the VPI MkIII be exceeded or equaled by current model TT's selling at the market value of the used VPI TNT MkIII?

Thanks in advanced for the assist!

This is a big/heavy turntable. As good as it is, it is very difficult to ship so that you would get it in excellent shape. Shipper should have original packing for best shipping.

I own a TNT6, and think it is a fine turntable, and have always liked the sound of TNT's in general, when well set-up. I strongly urge you to go to Audioasylum.com, and in the "Vinyl" page search for "TNT tri-pulley"; much info that you should be aware of. Good luck.

Frogman- lucky you...
i wish i had bought a TNT-6 (preferably with a super platter) when i had the chance a year or so ago.
somehow it appeals to me more than the HRX and seems to have all the
necessary tools (SDS, JMW ARM, Motor assembly) to get a very good result without pumps and unnessesary bells and whistles. How do you like your player?
