Found this treasure at a local "Barn Sale." It was in a pile labeled free. I asked the owner, "Is this supposed to be in the free pile?" She said since she hadn't hooked it up in a long time, and didn't know if it worked, she didn't want to charge anyone for it. So I took it off her hands.

The funny thing is, I just grabbed it because it was a turntable. It was horizontal in the pile, I put it in my car that way, and had it on the table that way when I got it inside. I kept looking at it, and thinking, this looks odd. Then I finally realized it is a vertical table! It blew my mind. I had heard of them, but never seen one.

Any who, the platter spins, but the automatic arm doesn't work. How much do you guys think I should invest in fixing this thing up?

That's a great table. Most likely you'll just need to replace the arm belt.
