Vinyl (replay) still is, and always will be, a niche market. So there is little new production especially under 1000 $/euro. The DJ's have left vinyl which is a pity since they kept the pressing plants busy and they kept the Technics SL-1200 in production.
Vintage has gone up in price esp. Thorens which has become too expensive IMHO. The timing of the Thorens is more suited to classical than to jazz/pop/rock IMHO. A few vintage TT with good price/quality ratio:
Beltdrive:
Dual 505/1249/601, Akai AP-100, Pioneer Pl-12(AC)/112/12D, JVC Jl-A1
Idler:
Dual 1019/1219/1229 or the little ones, 1225/1226
(Lenco has gone up in price but a modded L-75 is a monster!)
DD:
Akai AP-206/207/306, Technics SL-Q2/Q3, SL-D2/D3, Sony PS-X3/X4, PS-2250.

Thanks for the useful imformation. I was not aware that the DJ crowd no longer uses vinyl. Do they only scratch cds now? Thanks for the info on Thorens tts too.
