good and cheap turntable

hello peeps,

recently, I want to finally get a turntable. i would like a good (but nothing audiophile-freak rega thing) and relatively cheap turntable. it would mainly be a listening turntable, but i would like to strach/mess around with it just to waste some time. i really don't care about that usb-thing, i just want a straight-up simple thing.

i don't have a big budget, maybe something like 200-300 us. i was looking at those cheap numark ones but they are kinda ugly.

thnx for the help.

Hit up pawn shops and pick up an old technics and just get a new cartridge. Solid table and getting parts are easy, plus you can get older technics (non-dj style) for like $10!

It took fookin' ages for the motor and stylus/cartridge to 'break itself in' (the sound quality were shit to start with) but the project debut III is top of the pops. I finally really love mine now (it only took like 6 months !!)
