There’s a chap @pbnaudio who sells restored Denon direct drives.
if you are keeping costs down find a Goldring Lenco and make ur own plinth Lencoheaven is a superb source for tech details and support
Belt drive turntables are easy in many ways because motors tend to be easy to source - so a Linn is always a solid choice.
if ur in the UK I would source a Townshend Rock Elite. I have a few turntables but I find this addictive - there’s a guy called Matt McNulty - just Google him - very honest and knowledgeable.
The world is ur oyster my friend
