Lenco b-52 mk1 any good?

[newbee]

Hi everyone,I am a person happy listening to music through my CD player.But the craze for Turntable is tempting me to get one.So I started looking for an used one to start with.I came through a LENCO B-52 in good physical condition.The spring legs of the TT is not set properly and so it was not playing properly but the platter was moving and changing speed.So I resume that a minor servicing would bring it back to shape.It's an Idler Wheel TT.And I am getting it from the first owner.I am also getting a new Sure M44-7 cartridge.

My question is should I get it ? I am little worried about in the Idler wheel technology.What should be the right price for it?I really need valuable suggestion of our forum members..


Thanks

depends on what you are looking for. from what icould understand Idlers are good with Heavy platters...the B-50 series are light platters.. a used Dual might be a better option.
