Front End Advice Sought


I have been tasked with helping a friend put together an analog front end for her mom. This nice lady has a number of old albums she'd like to listen to, but not a whole lotta cash in order to make that happen.

She has an adequate receiver, but she needs a phono pre, turntable and cartridge. She can't afford to spend more than $1000.

What do you all think? Any ideas out there?

is she a hands on kind of person looking for the best sound she can get or would she rather have a Bose turntable if they made one? Analog is very hands on, you are not going to be performing other household chores while listening to an lp in the background.
The more information you can give, the better advice you are going to get, so give us a profile as to the ease of use that is expected.
