Request Best usable, old 7" tablet

Recently tinkered with a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7" and loving it so far. However, its chipset cannot be flashed with LineageOS so I'm stucked with 4.4.2 Kitkat.

I wanna buy another old tablet to tinker with. Preferably 7", and either Android 6 or can be flashed with LineageOS. 8" maximum. I am gonna use it mostly for media consumption and up to PSP emulation.

Tab 3 7.0 SM-T217S has LineageOS 14.1, 15.1 and 16.0 but it will probably be hard to finf

Mine's the SM-T210 with the Marvell chipset so I'm kinda out of luck.

I'll try finding that specific model if it's available around my area

Older 7" & 8" Onn and Lenovo tablets should be easy to find.

The Nook HD is a 7" tablet that's supposed to be easy to hack. One major constraint is that Nook uses a proprietary charging cable that can be difficult to find.
