A turntable around $250?

I know turntables can run the gamut on price, but what would someone here consider as a good used turntable for around $250 used? I have a Sony PSX-50 from the 80's and need to either get it working or buy a nice used one to play my old vinyl. Thanks for any suggestions.

Here's another. I had one for 20 years and loved it. Sold mine in a garage sale for $25.

Had an Ortofon in my Philips GA312. Excellent.

Good suggestion on the Dual.

Why no discussion about these old classics? Does their sound not qualify as audiophile today?

Had and used a Phillips GA 312 for about 17 years. It still worked fine but the cueing fluid was gone
What's cueing fluid?

Tvad-
No idea. On GA 312, it's a manual TT except the arm cues up at the end with, what looks like a rocker switch.
Yup. I know it well. Owned one for 20 years.
