Good advice me thinks - you could do much better for your money ...

I personally prefer the PL-71 as a deck but very difficult to find a good one. You might well prefer the presentation of the 1210 and they aren't difficult to find in good condition. For example there is a mint looking one here with the bonus of an oak plinth for £250 ...

You could then take your time choosing a better arm and external PSU.

I've just noticed this is an old ad so prob not available any more but gives you an idea!
