Why does it have to be vintage? For your first TT and for simplicity, you can get a new Rega P3 with an Elys cartridge within your budget. For a little more you can upgrade the cartridge to an Exact 2. It’s a great starter table.
Also, I would be very reluctant to buy a "vintage" turntable on Ebay.
Audiogon or US Audio Mart, probably yes.
