Mr. Winegasman unfortunally Dougdeacon is correct in his postings of entry lvl, well maybe a little high, but no sence in splitting hairs. I also concur with him and others if you can afford it, moving up to the Nottingham Horizon or something like it, will be well worth it.
As far as scratched lp's go as others have said depends how bad they are. It is easy these days to find n/m lp's on ebay for cheap unless you want really rare stuff.
If these are the lp's you used when you were a teenager you may want to replace some of them as I have done lol.
Next you are going to have to clean them. Remember you are now used to digital with the black background, dirty records make noise, clean ones don't, well at least almost none / depends on the pressing.
Good luck and remember as Mikey Fermer says the mmf-5 can kick the crap out af any cd player.
peace
