The Technics SL-Q300 is a good turntable, but the ground wire is not always included with it (when buying a used turntable). If the turntable is not grounded, you might only hear a loud hum from your speakers. So, make sure you have a way to ground it before you buy it. I rate this item as "Okay" if you have a way to ground it and if it functions properly. This turntable's tonearm uses a P-mount cartridge which makes it easy to change the cartridge. If the seller says the "needle" (meaning the stylus) is broken, just buy a new cartridge (the stylus is included with the cartridge). Remove the old cartridge, plug in the new one and you are ready to play records.
