Turntable recommendations

I've been finding some good vinyl cheap recently (for example, I found
two of the three Harry James D2D Sheffields for a total of $6, some
cool Ella recordings on Verve, some old six-eyes Columbia recordings
for a couple of bucks each, etc.). They are all in mint condition.
I haven't been able to pass them up even though my turntable is in
storage right now out of state. The stipulations:
I'd like a reasonable turntable (under $500) and a recommendation for
a cartridge that will perform well with whatever arm is on the table.
Used is very acceptable if they're readily available. I don't want to
have to dig or hunt for months to get it.
Bratzi and 2pid can respond with recommendations only if they promise
to give up stupid OT posts for a year. And 2pid also has to promise
not to sing the praises of his POS Mitsubishi.
Does anybody have any recommendations?
Rega. Rega rega, rega rega rega. Rega? Rega rega!
Pro-Jects and Music Halls can't match the reliability, sound quality
and ease of use of the Regas.
Don't get a Rega P1 unless you get a better cartridge and the glass
platter. Don't get a Rega cartridge.
Find a Rega P2. Get an Ortofon Red 2M cartridge. The latter is $99 and
sounds great on the Regas. Enjoy.
