Assuming you don't have any 78s in there, the cheap and easy route is a Technics SL-BD22. (I believe KAB modifies this table to handle 78s, if you need that.) The Technics takes a P-mount cartridge. Grado makes them, starting around $40, so the whole package should run you a little over $200.
This will play decently, and it's about as low-maintenance as a vinyl rig can be. The table is semi-automatic, and the P-mount cartridge just plugs in--no little pins or fussy adjustments. Perfect for the professed non-audiophile.
Of course, better is available for a price.
