I found a Sanyo jxt 4800 on Craigslist for $25 I also found a technics sl-B200 for $25, would either of these be a good deal or should I maybe pay $60 for an sl-3200 I also found?

The Sanyo looks interesting - it's a high quality (for the genre, anyway) all in one system with tape and receiver. Probably an excellent deal if everything works (interestingly, with a brief search I saw few if any English pages, which leads me to believe that it's a model that wasn't sold in the US).

If you're looking for just a turntable then I'd recommend either of the others. If the SL-B200 comes with a cartridge and good stylus then it should be fine (budget for a new belt if the old one hasn't been replaced in 10+ years). Otherwise I'd recommend the SL-3200; it's direct drive, and you can be more flexible in your choice of cartridge (the B200 only accepts P-mount cartridges). If you're interested in debating the merits of direct vs. belt drive, I'll direct you to the turntables forum.
