Best used TT for under $1k?


Hi All! A friend of mine is in the market for a turntable and I offered to help. Do any of you have an opinion on good value options in the used market for under $1k?
Thanks!

I have a Pioneer PLX1000 with a Jelco 750D arm, Nagaoka MP 150 cartridge, Herron 2 phono pre. It’s a good table.

Chakster, maybe you can explain for the OP, and to all of us, the difference in sound between the Pioneer and Technics? This would be most helpful because I've never compared them so I don't know. 

Also, how could you possibly know that we all purchased our Pioneer tables "before Technics made their latest mk7 model few years ago!"
I purchased my Pioneer in 2020, so you're wrong there. 

I hold no malice toward Technics, and have no doubt it sounds fine.  But for now the Pioneer sounds very good for a budget-friendly table.
