Hi,
I've acquired my dad's pride and joy Grundig Mandello radiogram, which has a Grundig Automatic 36 turntable (aka Philips GC036) in it which has died :-( The irony is is that I was probably the one that broke it playing around with it as a kid!

Just wondering what replacement options there are for the turntable, even with a better one? Am I too optimistic that anything from around that era that
1. physically fits
2. can be powered (hopefully inbuilt)
3. I can wire to the audio input
will be a possibility?!

Thanks!
DD.
