I recently bought a turntable and got back into vinyl after a 35 year hiatus. It's been a blast going through my garage and digging out LPs from the 60s, 70s, and 80s in the same condition I left them. But that's another post...
After much research I decided on the Audio Technica AT120USB. It's got great reviews. It's a little above your budget but well worth it. It's a direct drive (no belts to deal with) and it's manual (like a DJ turntable) and you have pitch control as well. I got mine at Guitar Center.
Beware of cheap turntables, and/or ones that are portable.
