Some folk dancers I know need a record player for community dances and
practice.  They are looking for an inexpensive, portable industrial
strength record player.  Inexpensive means under $100, which probably
means a used one.  Portable means that they can carry it around easily,
say something where the speakers fasten together or form the cover for
the turntable/amplifier.  Industrial strength means it can handle being
bumped around when it is carried -- I'm sure everyone has seen those
record players that the schools all use.  It needs to have enough power
to fill a 40 foot square room with 20-40 people in it.

They found one, but it is an old mono tube unit which weighs a ton, and
has a ceramic cartridge (shudder!), and sounds pretty bad.  I told them
I would try to find a better one before they waste their money on that
monster-that-chews-rare-foreign-folk-music-records.  Does anyone know
where to find record players like this?  Does anyone have one for sale?
Does some company sell used equipment like this?
