A replacement phonograph would be certainly be the cheaper way to go if you're having something shipped. You may want to check the local thrift stores, consoles pop up pretty frequently and are usually fairly inexpensive. I picked up a working, all original 1948 RCA console with AM, FM, shortwave & 78 changer in excellent condition at the Salvation Army store for $50. You may be able to find a different model console that has the same phono that you need (or one that's close enough), for less than what you may spend for ordering just a replacement phono.
