I HAVE HAD MY Q-DECK 14 YEARS. I TOOK IT FROM MY FATHER WHEN HE BOUGHT AN EXPENSIVE S.O.TA. IT IS A FANTASTIC PIECE. I HAVE REPLACED 1 BELT (E-BAY $12.00) AND THE CATRIDGE TWICE. I MISS THE ORIGINAL ORTOFON 20 O.E.M. (GREAT SOUNDING AND TRACKING CARTRIDGE). I BOUGHT AN ORTOFON BLACK WHICH SOUNDS JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL 20 THAT CAME WITH THE TABLE. I HAVE A PRO-JECT III AT MY SUMMER HOME AND IT DOEN'T HOLD A CANDLE TO THE Q-DECK. ARM DOESN'T TRACK AS WELL (THE Q-DECK'S ARM SOLD SEPERATLY IN THOSE DAYS FOR $395.00).
