What's the best buy for 2nd hand at 200 USD?
Try a Sony PS-X7. There is one listed on Ebay and you could make an offer. I just sold mine for $200 and the cover was not cracked. This is a surprisingly good TT. You can read some reviews on Vinyl Engine, AudioKarma, etc. 
To ring or not to ring?
The energy picked up by the stylus creates a subtle echo effect similar to hearing music in an auditorium. This distorts the original recorded music. It is also deleterious to sound retrieval. If one's system is good enough at extracting the music... 
What happened to Discwasher?
I would expect that a glass shop or hardware store that performs glass replacement would cut one to dimension.
