What we found was a SONY RCD-W500c cd recorder that we copy all our cassette tapes, records, 8-tracks to a cd disk that we play in our bus or were ever.we have been very well pleased with it,I may be a little off track on what you are looking for. Here is a picture of it. the one on top.

Well, I got the Technics turntable off eBay that Russ referred me to for $50 including shipping. So I am on the way.

Fortunately i do have a Sony control center plus some other Sony pieces that I have not looked at in several years but they were top of the Sony line when I purchased them about 7-8 years ago. Guess the only thing I am now missing is the CD player.

I will dig the two computers out tomorrow and have someone look at them. They are only about three years old and were excessed when I closed down my rental equipment business so I am getting close.

Probably will find several people at the senior center that will want some help on this after I get it set up. Will at least give me something to do since I do not have a bus to work on anymore.

Thanks again everybody for the valuable help.

Anybody have any casettes or records they want converted to CD's?

I extended that offer to family and close friends.  I only had a couple of 'takers', and one had an older open reel tape.  He was really happy, as he'd been looking for somebody to copy it to cassette and couldn't fine anybody with an open reel deck.  I think that's the only time I've used that old deck in about 7 years, but all that old equipment is still fun to play with.

Here's a turntable on ebay with a usb connection and software built in:

One of my someday projects (I'll probably lose my hearing before I get around to it).

This unit for $100 would eliminate the need for a stereo sound card.

FWIW,

DAMN! And I just won the bid for the Technics. This one would have been better I think since it is set up for USB.

Every PC I've seen in years has a stereo sound card.
