Looking for not too expensive Turntable

I want a vintage turntable for a second system with a tube amplifier. I read the Pioneer PL-12 is good sounding without any jitter due to being belt drive. I can actually hear jitter. I owned a direct drive TT and it had jitter. My Garrard 401 did not have any jitter either. Suggestions? Pioneer PL-12 good?

A PL-12D in good condition can be found for under $200. As a budget TT probably as good as any of the new ones under $400. What is your budget?

I am eyeballing the Pioneer PLX-1000 (new) as there are some really nice reviews out there. I've seen it as low as $613, but I don't know what your budget is? Upturn Audio has an Orbit Special or Custom for less than the Pioneer that also has my attention.

SP10 is not inexpensive.

Just ot make it clear:
the first SP10 does not have Quartz-locked speed control like all the later made and improved models, such as SP10mkII and SP20
