Looking for not too expensive Turntable

I want a vintage turntable for a second system with a tube amplifier. I read the Pioneer PL-12 is good sounding without any jitter due to being belt drive. I can actually hear jitter. I owned a direct drive TT and it had jitter. My Garrard 401 did not have any jitter either. Suggestions? Pioneer PL-12 good?

A bit more than your budget - but well worth it.

Best of luck

All the Denon DD have an electronic brake and they do brake rather quickly. Not a quick as the Technics MK2/3 that use a mechanical brake. The BIG Denon the DN308 originally have a mechanical brake in addition to the electronic one.  On my Rebuilds I do eliminate this as not stops with in a 1/4 revolution with the electronic one alone.

Good Listening
