Looking for Turntable Reccomendations

I'm looking for  and unpopulated Turntable reccomendations to pair with some of my existing analogue components. I currently own a Sutherland 20/20 phono amp with LPS. I also have an Origin Live Zepher 12" Tone Arm and a SoundSmith MMMC* Cartridge (Factory Upgraded). All very nice components, but I would prefer not to break the bank on plinth and platter. New or Used inputs!

Most of my listening is Jazz, R&B. 

System-

SS Class A Mono Amps / PreAmp Tube / Efficent 3 way Speakers, Flanked by Duel Subs.

Thank you in Advance

As I was going to suggest a heavy plinth Lenco, I wonder why you would suggest staying away from one?

I built one, and it’s modded with some of my own design details, including a dedicated dynamic isolation platform. It is a fantastic sounding TT by any metric.

Most people do not want to get that involved. They want to buy a table, mount the arm, plug it in and go. There are not many crazy fools like you and me.

PTP Audio Solid 12 is an off the shelf heavy plinth Lenco conceived and built by Peter Reinders, one of us crazies, for a sane person to buy and enjoy.

Not sure what your budget is, but I recommend reaching out to Dave at Vinyl Nirvana. He can help you design and restore a Thorens with an armboard to fit your 12" arm, similar to the option shared in a previous post.
