Inexpensive Good Vintage Turntables?

"Just say no to DD."

Wow, as an owner of all types of drives I had to laugh at that moronic statement. There are plenty of vintage DD tables that still perform better than most of the junk sold today. It would take a hell of a good belt drive to match the drive motor in say a JVC QL-A7! About 3 to 4 hundred verses how many thousands? Lot's of thousands to come close to those specs. Just good powerful smooth delivery of music.

Just because your biased doesn't mean your right. Of course you could be British, they were duped to believe that kind of nonsense.

Probably typed without a hint of irony.

Perhaps a vintage VPI. I own an HW-19 and I think parts for it are readily available as are upgrades. Plus, customer service is (or it was about 2 years ago) pretty responsive. 

I prefer linear tracking turntable. Good one are Yamaha PX2, PX3. B & O 4000. 

VPI TNT HOT ROD JUNIOR. Built like a tank. Not made anymore. Used one costs approx $5000.

I sold a Sapphire III in light oak with FT3 and AT440MLB 2 months ago - got $1100 for it.  Condition was good, but not pristine.  Functioned perfectly.  Unrestored.  Took a decently long time.  I was only looking for a local buyer, as I didn't want to ship it, so that limited my audience.  Hope that helps.
