Hi There were several. Probably the best of them was from Cambridge Audio. Others from companies like VM, RCA, Decca were fairly good. I would prowl places like ebay and thrift and pawn shops. You might score one rather cheaply. Most will not be even close to current players but then the price will be a lot less. Nealy all the old ones used ceramic or crystal pickups and while not as common as back then some are still available. I would not risk any LP on whatever came with anything you got unless the seller would guarantee that it was new.
