Re: Starting My Journey
One turntable that is often overlooked are the Duial CS505's belt drive with pitch control, they are well built and often don't need much service other than belts and a bit of lubrication.
If you require a radio then try and go for a receiver that is a tuner and amplifier in one go.
Don't rule out 70's Leak amplifiers, there's a receiver on EBay at the moment for £89 which has been serviced, only one very small downside is that it uses din plugs for all inputs and speakers but that shouldn't be a problem as the connectors are all available.
A good turntable is the Goldring Lenco though they are fetching silly money these days, I used to have a Sansui SR212,
When buying speakers especially those from the 70's 80's or 90's is to take the front off and check the bass units to make sure the surrounds holding the cone to the chassis haven't perished.
Good luck
