It's fairly simple route if you choose trivial Technics 1200. 
Base used model in great shape you can find $350...400
My preferred cartridge pick for this deck is audiotechnica at147. 
You can than add $3...400 for KAB upgrades (check kabusa.com) to have performance of substantially higher priced units including higher end Regas

I would go to a local dealer. Mine sets up the TT and installs the cart for free. Also any problems or or upgrades. You can bring the TT into the dealer, Beats having to send it back.

I've had friends ask the same question so I used to go on for ages about all the options only to discover their budget is $79. So, what do you want to spend?
