Several people have mentioned the Orbit TT from UTurn Audio and I would urge you to take a look at their Web site. The tables range from $179 for the most basic with an Audio-Technica cartridge to $595 fully tricked out with an Ortofon MM Blue.
I recently heard this table during a demo by Frank Van Alstine of Audio by Van Alstine. He was using his own modified Grado Gold cartridge (and his $500 phono preamp) to replace the Ortofon and it sounded amazing. In fact, I thought it sounded as good as, if not better than, his new $1800 DAC that was the real intended focus of the demo session.
If you combine this table-which is a no muss, no fuss package (they don't sell a TT not outfitted with a cartridge already installed and set up)-with an inexpensive phono pre from Schiit, Parasound, NAD, Rega, etc, you can get away with less than $400.
