Buy a Rega or a Pro-Ject, either new or second hand and sit it somewhere sensible. 

Avoid suspended decks for now.  Suggestions like "You can't go wrong with a second hand LP12/TD160 etc." are, I would suggest, misleading.  They aren't bad decks but there's a lot of ways you could go wrong with one and I wouldn't ever recommend such a thing to a newbie to vinyl.
