old hi fi with record turn table

[pickle]

My lad is off to Uni next month and fancies a record player......don't suppose anyone has an old hi fi with working turntable knocking about do they?

Thought I'd ask in here before eBay 

[oldschoolrb]

Try Richer Sounds Rob

Rob, if you have a Heart foundation furniture/electricals shop near you they are also worth a look as they have these in pretty regularly and cheap too.

I can sort you a deck Rob.

That's really kind of you john but a mate at work is bringing in a technics deck on Friday and I've got a small mini to plug it into

Huge thanks though mate for the offer

You may need a pre-amp Rob, especially if the turn table is from a complete `separates' unit, you'll soon know if its dead quiet when playing a record, not a bad thing if its one of your records!!

should only be a few quid on ebay, hopefully you won't need one, just don't want you to think its fooked before you start!

  cheers mate 

Won't know till Monday when he comes into work

Rob, Munny Mark ia right mate. Check your mini hifi has a set of inputs on the back marked "phono" or it is unlikely to have a phono stage pre-amp.

Off to Uni eh? Blimey,  you're older than I thought

[pickle]

Yeah just checked and it has a phono input 

I know! Can't believe he's off to uni  he's studying at Leicester so he will come down to the BR when we're there
