RE: Out of the box suggestion

You might want to consider just rehabbing the console. Takes care of the speakers, enclosures etc. Modifications can be made for higher fidelity sound, many consoles were designed fro boom and hiss with steep bass and high mid boost. this can be taken care of if you can get the print.

One thing though is it will have ceramic cartridge that needs to go if you intend to delve into vinyl.

But you'll have that old tube sound and that paper speaker sound. Stuff this old will probably fire up and play something, if nothing else out of AUX input. Just watch very carefully for smoke the first time you turn it on. People talk of using a DBT or a variac to fire up old equipment but that simply does not work all that well on tube equipment. (and a few solid state amps as well)
