I have been offered one of these turntables for free - I think it is a 1983 model. It isn't currently working and my question is whether it is worth the cost of getting it up and running (assuming that was approx £100). I currently have a Pro-ject debut iii - will the technics outperform the pro-ject?

If it is worth getting it repaired, can anyone recommned someone in the North West? I have found somenone based in Leigh via the internet but was hoping to find someone closer to Manchester.

Agreed, if it was one of the more sought-after direct-drive technics decks (SL1200, SL1210 etc) then I would say so, but the SL-B21 was only a standard belt-drive and was nothing special, so not really worth saving.

Also, the P-mount arm rather limits the cartridge choices.

Stick with your Project.
