I almost forgot that I wanted to offer some helpful advice to the OP. If you're definitely leaning toward a $200 vintage TT, I would strongly consider an AR-XA, the godfather of all suspended turntables. The XA laid the foundation upon which companies like Linn Sondek and Sota built their decks and to this day it remains a strong competitor in the world of affordable vintage audio.
You can easily find an AR-XA in stock form for under $200 and right off the bat, it's a competent performer. But with a couple easy (and cheap) tweaks, you can elevate its performance to another level. Beyond that, if you're willing to spend a modest amount of money, you can get an XA to kick the shit out of turntables costing three, four, even five times as much.
And that's the great thing about the XA; it provides an excellent avenue for future upgrades. If you know what you're doing - or at least know someone else who does - there's a really high ceiling in terms modifications.
Off the top of my head, I can think of four guys who, if you sent them an AR-XA, could get that thing performing at a really high level for less than $200 in labor and parts ... and probably not even that much money.
PM me if you want additional info. Here's some good reading / viewing in the meantime ...
