Used Linn sondek lp12 worth?
I'm going to be very frank with you. If you don't buy it, you're nuts. If you pay less than what granny wants, you're a dick (particularly in view of circumstances). That TT is worth way the hell more than the price being asked. Just do it. It's a...

Best turntable And cartridge for Rega Brio R
Cannot go wrong with Rega 3 or 6 with Rega cart.

Rega, Pro-Ject, Technics SL-1200

Loved Tower with a passion. Also, loved good hi-fi shops, now relics. 
Merlin TSM MMM to MMM BME
Good luck on this one. "Mr. Merlin" passed away recently and company may have died with him. 
Love / Hate relationship with vinyl?
I don't know how to fix the hum but having hum is completely unaccepatble. The system should be dead quiet when operating optimally. 
Human 81 bookshelf speakers?
Wim...I don't get it. What made you decide upon Dynaudio out of nowhere? Have you heard the Dyn and Human side-by-side? I doubt it.
