Top used turntables under $500


Iam entering the turntable market and have a budget of 500. There are many used tables on the market, I have a B & K pro10 sonata preamp with McCormack DNA1 amp.

Must haves: great sounding without constantly repairing or tweaking. This may remove Thorens players?

 That said my list includes 
Micro Seiki DD40 
sota
realistic 420
Others?????

Just picked up a second Technics SL-1700mk2 that needs a little rehab and restoration for $250. I’ll have to put new interconnects on it, a headshell and cartridge, and do a full tear-down, clean, and lube. Should have somewhere near $700 into it then. The other one I have got the same treatment plus SL-1200mk2 feet and dustcover, and sounds wonderful.
