For me it shows there's been a lack of care towards the equipment - it's not that I'm desperate to use the Technics ones, I just feel that it's more likely they've been heavily used/possibly abused and might need a bit more TLC. Same with missing lids, hinges, headshells etc. (I've just looked up the cost of a service and it appears to be closer to £85 each so that is quite a bit.)
I'm on a fairly set budget so I've ordered two LP1240s for less than the cost of one of Audio Gold's Technics by the time everything is taken into account.
