If it's just to play your records, I'd recommend a NAD 3020. I bought one new in about 1987 and still going strong !!!
Very basic, no frills, good enough to make a right old racket in most homes.
Simply plug your deck and speakers into the back and away you go. Can also plug in CD and Tuner (and tape deck!!)
Plenty second hand on eBay - about £80
