record player and a cool relic, worth keeping?

So had to clear out my grandads house due to other circumstances.

I found his old Vinyl player in good knick apart from the veneer peeling on the back edge.

what amp would be good to pair it with? looking at budget end.
would be nice to have it useable in my house.



also found this old school bang & oulsfen player which is 100% working just needs the metal plates fixing back on. Very 80's also has the CD player to go with it but the motor arm has snapped.

Spoiler: big images.

Blimey, I had an earlier version of the Revolver as my first turntable, circa 1984-85 from memory. At the time the finish was Hammerite. Mine was a sort of crimson red with a smoked perspex lid. The arm was a Linn LVX. A lovely little TT, very musical, or so I thought at the time. Loved listening to it. Changed the Linn Basik cartridge for an A&R C77, then a P77, and I was as happy as a pig in poop.

Your newly acquired TT will need either an amplifier with a phono stage, or you'll need to buy a phono pre-amp to sit between the TT and a standard Line Input on any amp.

When you say "budget", what does that mean in £££'s terms?

Max 150-200 I would say, my knowledge on all this is little to non existent so any links or recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
