Looking around at some ELAC Uni-Fi UB5 speakers for someone in the family, I ended up at ELAC's site and found that they are offering the Miracord 50 turntable for $249.98, on sale from $399.98. I've heard the top-of-the-line Miracord 90 at AXPONA and also made note of its excellent build quality. (It has since been replaced by the Miracord 80.)
All Miracords are built in Germany.
The Miracord 50 comes with an Audio Technica AT-91 cartridge and has a defeatable on-board phono stage, so that the output can be connected to any system even if it lacks a phono input. (A phono stage amplifies the cartridge to line level and also applies the RIAA curve.) The 50 is belt-drive and DC-powered, with both 33⅓ and 45 RPM speeds available. Reviews seem favorable, and many have upgraded to better cartridges. (An Audio-Technica with their Microline stylus would be a great upgrade for this unit.)
