Some of you may have noted the praise given for the VPI HW-19Jr in other circles when recommendations for a budget turntable are asked for. These are often recommended instead of new turntables in this price range, and have a number of upgrade options when your budget permits (platter, motor, power supply, etc).
For sale here is one with the original feet updated to cones, and with original sorbothane between the base and plinth replaced by Tenderfeet. Both are great mods that nicely improve the sound of the table.
And there are a few options available in terms of what the table comes with:
Just the table (no tonearm) and plinth of your choice (Rega or Linn/Audioquest tonearm mount): $325
Just the table (no tonearm) and plinths for both Rega and Linn geometry tonearm mounts: $360
All of these prices are plus shipping. Chicago pick-up would be most welcome too.
