That looks like a Rega (or upgraded version thereof) tonearm on that TT. I would say R6k is a bargain.

Jacques is as knowledgeable as they get. Most of the forum members will refer to him to get estimates. If he says R6k, then R6k would be your best bet.

If you mount that Rega RB250 on this unit and follow the mods and tweaks that are available for it, you'll end up with a killer TT.

Jacques at The Turntable Guy would be your best bet at getting a true value on it.

No idea about this one. Unfortunately looks like a cheapie. If the base unit is good, it would definitely benefit from a tonearm upgrade.

If in a good condition, at least R4k, probably more.

Get a decent electronics repair tech. He can replace it with a new jack. It might be easier and cheaper to source the new jack yourself.

A Quad 22 preamplifier. Goes with the Quad II amplifier in your other post.

That is a Quad II monoblock tube amplifier. You need two for stereo.

Awesome article. 👌🏻 I could not hope to have said it better. My summary: stop chasing what other people like, or worry about what their opinions are, or what would impress other audiophiles, and build the system that will allow you to enjoy your music. Audition as many systems and combinations...

This hurts 😢 He was a great guy. I bought my dream cartridge (Stanton 981 LSZ) and TT (Technics SP10 mk.ii) from him. And to top it all off, with the Stanton I got something I did not even know existed- the battery-powered stepup amplifier specially made by Stanton for the 981 LSZ (I still can...

Not sure, but Mark Levinson (@markDH) is a member here, so it might be easier just to ask him. Here are some impressions:
