Seriously, though, get one with the proper jacks in the back.  I bought an old
German-made portable, but it had no line-out jack.  I had my local stereo-shop

all, but I still have the record player.  Very useful for camping where there is
a 110v AC connection, to play old Hungarian weeping-songs over bourbon and
trout.)
