I would try it, but I got rid of all my vinyl years ago. I'm considering buying a few albums I enjoy in this format, as I'm a sucker for nostalgia.

I only ask because I don't want to waste my time if it's not even worth a mention.

I used to work for the Technics service centre in the days those were new to the market.
It was an entry market DirectDrive player and not as well damped chassis as the more expensive ones.
Fully automatic and quartz controlled (so no speed control).
The platter was relatively lightweight compared to the more expensive ones yet had low wow and flutter.
Not sure if it were these types but remember some of these DD turntables didn't respond well to those weights you can put on the platter as it threw off the servo-loop making the wow and flutter worse,
It is mainly limited in use by the T4P cartridge mount.
Never saw a lot of them, meaning either they didn't sell very well or they were good quality.
No belts and I thought the moving arm was powered from the platter as well so pretty rugged unless the arm was obstructed while moving.
