Hmmm, plays 45s, is easy to switch speed, and is belt drive...I'd have to say that you should check out any of the B&O turntables, they fit your specs to a T. And, because the tonearm and cartridge were designed as a "unit", most B&Os can handily out-perform any turntables anywhere near their price. And, to play a 45, you simply lay the 45 on the platter - the B&O will know automatically that you have a 45 on there. Just press Play and you're off!
Plus, it is virtually impossible to scratch a record using a B&O turntable - their effective tip mass is the lowest in the world. And, their MMC1, MMC2, and MMC3 cartridges are VERY good cartridges. The MMC1 is especially good - and very expensive.
