Not much talk about Yamaha turntables.

I've been wanting to jump into the analog world for years, but for a lack of experience and/or knowledge about the equipment, I haven't. There's plenty of talk here about the big names in analog and I was surprised the other day browsing around somewhere that Yamaha has turntables.  Are these any good?  What do they compare to in terms of other more well-known analog names?  I'm not asking about their $8,000 models.  I will never be able to afford that.  I'm asking more about their sub $1k models.  

Thanks!

@lewm : where in Tokyo, Disk Union? Why do I ask? Because I’ve been to several of their locations. 
 Thanks.

@shtinkydog. The Nagaoka MP110 is a great cartridge, but if you can get the 150 or 200.

Vac, If you are asking where I saw a nice used Yamaha GT 2000L most recently , it was at Audio Union in Ochanomizu. I buy LPs across the street at Disc Union. Our son lives in Tokyo as a permanent resident, and we visit him at least once a year. But sadly we canceled our trip in April, because of the coronavirus. For new stuff, I have been buying mostly at Yodibashi Camera in Akihabara, just because they have such a huge selection.
