Thanks everyone for your input. Some great suggestions, which I will follow up on! I had a look on eBay and as well my local CL as some suggested. I also spent a couple of hours today checking out LP on eBay. Shopping for those old LPs that were loaned out years ago, and for some reason, never returned, is going to be fun. :-)
Thanks again everyone!
