There are literally hundreds of models of good used turntables available. An exhaustive list would literally be exhausting.
One will receive no end of recommendations of various models
Eg, I picked up a ’new and unused’ Mission 775S the other day, on the cheap. It cost me about a fifth of what a new Rega Planar and Rega tonearm would cost. It came with a Jelco manufactured Mission labelled tonearm. Is it superior, overall, to a planar 3, any planar 3? You betcha.....
Patience and some Sun Tzu, is advised. "If you wait long enough by the river, the body of your enemy WILL float by". Meaning, take your time, and do some opportunistic slow-mo well considered fishing.
One thought: the best sonic qualities are generally contained within fully manual turntable designs. Where the tonearm can be (and invariably is) a separately purchased item.
Since marketplace confusion exists, within buyers, this means they can overvalue complete systems where the tonearm is a lower quality design and is not perfected as a separate item. Where, alternatively, concurrently.. the given ’for sale’ turntable/tonearm combinations are separate purchases and integrated... and this is sometimes not recognized as the advantage that it is...this means..that with patience, and good analysis...excellent bargains can be found.
A caveat in that analysis, can be..that one has to take it on as a task likened to always being at the ready. Ancient Humanoid behavior adapted to the modern times. Funds ready to go, and looking at local and national adverts, all at the same time, like forming a habit. Waiting by the river, with spear held up high, poised above the river of adverts..waiting to strike at the unrealized bargain, when it shows itself. Bring home the turntable bacon.
If one is too busy in other things, well... take the lesser valued more expensive way out, and save the time, but spend the money. And buy a finished set with the majority of the value retention being on the seller’s side. Personal choice, I guess.
