Turntable suggestions for novice...

I would like to add vinyl to my system but am currently on a limited budget. Also, I have not listened to vinyl in about 30 years. My current system is quite good: Cambridge Audio Azur 740C 24-bit upsampling CD player; Musical Fidelity A3cr dual mono pramp, Odyssey Audio Stratus Plus 150 wpc SS amp; all Audioquest interconnects with Midnight 3 hyperlitz bi-wire speaker wire; Von Schweikert VR-4 loudspeakers; RBH stand-alone sub amp with RBH passive sub. I'd like a good 9/10ths turntable (likely used) for under $500. Any sleepers or recommendations?

+1 more on the Rega with the RB300. Buy it right and you cant go wrong in terms of resale when you ultimately acquire Thesoundhouse's disease. In all liklihood you will be happy with it as a quality start point and there's lots of little tweaks to improve it.

Just as an aside a new MMF table depreciates rather harshly and they dont enjoy the same robust resale market as rega tables do. and most of the Japanese brands mentioned have some good, even 'highend' tables, but they also have some abysmally poor products too. The trick may be knowing which is which and will that arm be any good at all? ie compared to an RB300?

Anyway now I await the inevitable suggestion to go with an idler.......
