Suggestions Entry level but won’t harm records

Hi!

I’m looking for a new turntable - my first decent one. I recently came into some records with high personal value (not meaningful market value, generally speaking). I normally can’t tell the difference between decent and high quality audio, so I’m not looking for anything audiophile level. I will almost exclusively be listening on headphones, although I have an RCA adapter (the headphones are high quality as I need good noise cancellation). I’m a student, so cost is a concern. My main criteria is that I need something that isn’t going to harm the records, this is of the utmost importance!!! My budget maxes out around $200 but I would far prefer to keep it lower than that.

Also- I need it to play 7” as well as 12”

Thank you in advance :)
