Dying to start a record collection and have little cash? I suggest hitting garage sales, swap meets, flea markets and the like. You might spend 6 hours going through them to find 2 that are remotely cool, but that's half the fun. I found an original Frank Sinatra 78 in a second hand store in Manitoba. LOVED it. Unfortunately 78's are super brittle and it shattered shortly after I put it on display. Sigh... I think I finally threw out the pieces after about 5 years.
Records are the best. Yes, the quality of cd's is great and you can crank them, but it's different. The crackle is what makes them great.
