I briefly owned a Sony PS-6750 which was superb...

Better than a PL71? I'd say so - but not by a big margin, it still retained the Pioneer's wonderful knack of not sounding like it was trying too hard and like the PL71 it was just so darn listenable

Staggeringly well built too - the motor/bearing assy is huge.

Another one to add to the watchlist...

I'm trying to compile a list of about 3 to 5 great direct drive TTs to hunt for.

WHAAAT? I can't believe I bought it just ~4 months ago for over 2x less. That was definitely a good move ;)
Wonderful turntable!

How much do you think the Sony PS-6750 is worth?

Difficult because very few people have experience of them so not a lot of gossip, gromit is the most vociferous proponent. I would personally let gromit buy it and then buy his PL71 off him.
