I just got a Music Hall MMF-5 off eBay. Guess what...not terribly impressed. It has a hum, although not overwhelming. The motor make a slight noise...also not overwhelming. The arm lift mechanism is a little jumpy at the top of its motion and it moves the arm backward when lifting. When I let it down, it's not in the same place as when I lifted it. Besides all that, its sound is edgy...although I suppose that could be the cartridge or perhaps even the tracking force. I set it with the markings on the counterweight, as opposed to a gauge. Just felt like reporting my impression.

Rock on...
