What's the best buy for 2nd hand at 200 USD?


Hello there experienced hifi-dinosaurs. I am a student with limited funds and a love of vinyl, and I'm looking to replace my old sony turntable. In case it matters, I own a marantz receiver, i think it's a NR1403, and Boston BA25 bookshelf speakers. I want to try and make my collection of 70s records sound good without paying too much for a lack of knowledge. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

As several have said, the old Sony PS-X series punch WAY above their weight, the PS X-7 has a carbon fiber arm and will smoke any Dual ever made, most Thorens as well etc.
Yesterday I took a pre in for work at a major US audio designers place of business. One of the top of the line Salk speakers were playing, very natural sound, his source was vinyl, the TT a Sony PS-X5 .
