I did some digging on ebay and audiom-market, going through reviews and more reviews of the brands/models and found theses ones as possible candidates:
ELAC 870 - 279,00
Rotel RP 3000 Direct Drive 1970 - EUR 270,00
Telefunken STS-1 Turntable + TLX 22/4 speakers + STP1 stereo preamp - EUR 250,00
Thorens TD 146 - EUR 200,00
Dual 1219 - EUR 150,00
Dual 1019 - EUR 100,00

If god wanted us to be naked he'd have made us that way!
It is difficult to offer much advice upon which may be the best choice of these. Some were/are not familiar here in the UK ansd I suspect the same is true of the USA ( where most contributors to AA hail from).
All are good turntables though. I did have quite a lot of experience of the Dual truntables back in the day. The Elac is very difficult to find any information on. Their more specialist Miracord range are better known.
I might just go for ease of ownership. The Duals are automatics so potentially more to go wrong. The Telefunken is a direct Drive so added complexities for an old turnatable if it requires attention. Are spares available? A similar comment applies to the Rotel.
So if it were me my priority would be the Thorens 146. If not then the better of the Duals (1219). The Elac is attractive but has too many unknowns from my perspective especially over the arm's physical characterisitcs which I can find nothing on and which are needed to help choosde the right cartridge to go with it.
