These portable players have become popular again. New ones are being sold now at big retailers.

Portable record players were never a thing with the older audiophile crowd, but it should have a tracking weight adjustment on the arm somewhere. If you can get it to track at 2 - 3 grams, that would be good.. Record players tend to work best with record of a similar vintage. Track width and depth and stereo made the groves change over time.
