These are both off Craigslist, so I would be able to comfirm that they are working. But would either of them be good, and would they be worth it for the price?
Getting acquainted with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-Kqmz-2tR4 "as we speak" and think that Yamaha might be better - at least, it does alllow for cartridge change. Personally not familiar with either. On the other hand, if you do not already have a phono input, and budget really is tight, RCA does have its appeal. It obviously is "cheap & cheerful".
Please take no offence, it is like you were asking Indy 500 driver how to park a car. I am accustomed to entirely different quality level - BUT that does not always necessitate high price.
No such things in my country, but at your place there are thrift stores, Good Will stores, etc - with eyes open, IF you have knowledge/background/experience regarding turntables, you might score a killer deal, like a TT in perferct condition worth $$$ for say 10-30 $. If not, and you not need tt tomorrow, you can "educate" yourself a bit; my tip - there were other tables, not just Technics 1200/1210 back then, that although not up to Technics, were superiour to either of your propositions. A bit tough for me to know just what do you have available over there, suffice is to say a hell of a lot more than over here, paricularly in the lower price bracket.
In any case, check out stylus and belt, if the tt is belt driven. Sometimes, belts for rarer tts can be quite costly - like tt for 10 bucks - because replacement belt for it is ultrarare at 50 ! Stylus replacement can easily cost more than your propositions - it does add up !
TBH, even if one is acustomed to top level, there is still a joy to listen to entry level Project - it is vynil and music after all and pursuing perfection at any cost, although "noble", does not outweigh the joy of again being able to spin your fav LPs on something that sounds reasonably good and will preserve them for the future. If you happen to come by some early 70s belt drivers - let their bulkiness/sturdiness/somewhat crude appearence not turn you off - if at least semi decent arm is fitted, these can positively surprise with SQ - compared to your propositions, built like a tank, they just don't make them like that anymore.
So - are you a total novice, are relatively good with mechanics, know which side of soldering iron gets hot, etc - it would be easier to make a recommendation, as some models might be good, but always first require some TLC, which does cost money if you have two left hands.
What are you going to use your tt with - does it have a phono input ? In a hurry - or can wait a bit ?
It is perfectly possible to assemble decent sounding stereo on tight budget - only making a recommendation across the ocean is a bit tough. Please answer the above questions and we will pick up from there - would be glad to help.
