Cheap mid 70's TT, arm and cartridge can sound pretty good.

I was impressed with how nice the Thorens 160 (?) we used at a CAF a while back. I think it was Stu's TT with some MM cart. I have also owened a cheap copy of the Thorens in the form of a Dual CS-505 which is not all that impressive sounding.
I picked up a Thorens 160 Super, Grace 707 arm and got a new high compliance, low output MC (Denon 301/II). The sound is very nice, hard to belive how well this inexpensive setup sounds. It does not match my WT TT setup but I could happily live with this if I did not have something better. A good backup TT or second system TT.
