Circa 1980 Yamaha PX-2 occasionally appear used for
< $500.00.
Very cool, well made turntable, linear tracking and fully automatic - perfect for mind altered listening sessions and quite good sounding. Class A in its day (?) which included many good turntables, Linn Sondek, Oracle etc.
The only difficulty might be service or perhaps parts if the linear tracking belt needed replacement or something so you could call ahead to Yamaha first.
Otherwise, the little auto lifters would be find.
I just never liked passing out and having my tweaky belt drive turntable spinning all night.....
Good luck.
