Awww... my Yamaha YP-211 from 1977 died a short time ago too, so I sympathize.

For a manual TT, check out the Rega P1 or the Goldring 1.2 (they're the same table). The Music Hall is a good suggestion as well. For an automatic table, have a look at the Denon DP-300F. Any of them will give you financial room to buy a nice cartridge like the AT440MLa. You can have a nice setup well within your means.
