This was my first turntable and it was a great first turntable. Won't scratch records, has auto stop / start and stylus' are plentiful and cheap. It also has the ability to use a phono stage / amplifier or just straight output as desired.
Not the lowest it's been, but a good enough price to warrant posting it IMO.
Great for a gift or anyone wanting to start a collection, or just listening to a few of the albums that they already have.
Good spot, I'll update it soon haha.

Patiently waiting for a deal on the LP70X!
Me too, cheapest currently is $388 at JB when price matching harvey norman and using the $30 perks code.
Just posted a smashing deal
have this its great
Agree, great model. Perfect entry level. Upgraded from a shitty Crossley and it is amazing. Bought earlier in year for $194.
This one better?
I don’t know anything so just asking

Also what are some good speakers to go with it that are decent bang for buck
Slightly better and looks nicer, overall not much difference. At that price you would be better off getting the LP70x or LP120xusb for a bit extra.
Ok thanks
I’m guessing there isn’t one out that that will would with apple HomePod speakers
Im guessing not as it does not work as a bluetooth speaker. Also the fact that vinyl sounds better when plugged into speakers, although it's ultimately a personal choice.
@gusk12: Thanks again
So do you recommend a set of speakers for it?
I’m looking at starting so have no knowledge of it. I just want something that sounds great and is simply to use and won’t damage anything and last too
@Twisty: It really depends what setup you're going for. If it's in a living room and you don't want it extremely loud, bookshelf speakers like edifiers are decent. I use some audioengine A2+'s and they're great for casual listening.
@gusk12: Yer I don’t need it to blast the sound. Just in the living room to listen to nice a clear good quality tho
@Twisty: Exactly what I use it for, I would definitely recommend the audioengine ones due to their size factor. I'm sure there are way more options to choose from though!
@Twisty: turntable? Automatic ones are easier to use, manual is more work as you have to be there when the record finishes to prevent damage. It's definitely a personal preference
Nah not overly better, a lot of the cheaper models are just rebrands I've found.
As the other commenter mentioned, an LP70x is the better option. The LP120 is kind of a weird one and I'd suggest just ponying up the $1500 for the SL1200 mk7 or grabbing a used mk2-5 for less.
My suggestion is buy a great one it will lasts til you die, check out the Technics one on another post
I'd agree if you're a hard core vinyl person, I personally have a SL1200 Mk5 with an Ortofon 2M Blue.
But this isn't for someone like myself or yourself - this is a great starter, for the person who occasionally listens or a budget. Someone dipping their feet without spending massive.
It can work in almost any setup, won't damage LPs and has auto start/stop as mentioned. If someone were to really enjoy it - then you'd look at the Technics as it will require a phono stage (I can suggest the Fosi x5 for the money) - but again comes down to setup cost and complexity too.
Thanks mate, was hanging out for this.
I have this and it's excellent. Been going for about 4-5 years now.
Can anyone recommend a small footprint table that can accommodate this + speakers?
