One of these is locally available. Looks very nice, actually. Thoughts?

I googled it and all I found was a Radio Shack ad from a 1982 newspaper. There's a terrific site called radioshackcatalogs.com. All I can say is G-d Bless this guy--I could literally spend my whole life on this website. Every RS catalog going way back. So it's there in the 1982 catalog. Retailed for $139, nice looking, reasonable specs for a belt drive. But I wouldn't pay much for it--maybe $25 max, preferably less.

I have a Lab 390 which is a technics in every respect, DD semi auto. Seems like a decent TT, found at GW for $5 for parts but it works fine so $25 max maybe ok, if you need / want a TT
