my suggestion is to go to http://lpgear.com and pick from their selections, according to your budget.

those people really know their shit and offer great stuff at every price point; their upgraded versions in particular are a great value.

do NOT go to ebay or the thrift store in search of fucked gear that you can't find replacement parts for.

oh, when you buy, don't spend all your cash in the thing. make sure you budget for a decent cleaner (doesn't need to be expensive) and a spare stylus (that can be pricey depending on turntable model). a stylus can last a long time, but it wears out; however, an accident could break it, and it's a bitch to have to wait for the replacement and anyway you should always have a bit of money stashed for this.

oh, fuck, i forgot to ask in what country you live. this applies to the u.s. and i spotted a lot of english posters here. so. location?
