Budget Turntable suggestions


I am very interested in getting more into the audio communtiy. I currently have a budget of around $300 (if that is even feasible), and I would love to hear some suggestions for turntables. I really have no idea where to start. I understand that you can spend some $$$ on cartridges for turntables, but I am pretty lost when it comes to the overall turntable. I have a ton of records that I would love to listen to.

Stringreen: Now that you've had your eye-roll and dismissal moment in the sun, care to be helpful here to this fellow Audiogon member who asked a pefectly legitimate question? Elitism and snarkiness are simply unproductive and frankly, who has the time and bandwidth for such cynicism anymore?

C'mon, surely you have a couple of helpful suggestions...

Mine would be to find a good used Technics 1200 series table and install at least a $50 to $100 AT or similar cart. This will likely run about $700-$800 (I know, out of budget) but the advantage is a solid performing start to vinyl.
