It may help to remember as that will give you (and us) an idea of how worn out the records may or may not be. Well worn records will not sound like you're expecting them to if played on a nice system like the others here have been suggesting.
As an example, when I got my system (1978) and asked an old college friend to bring his favorite record over to audition it on my new system, he was amazed when it started to skip. He accused me of scratching his record. I showed him it was tracking at only 1 gram of weight and that the scratch was already there, his system just wasn't sensitive enough to pick it up. So, I'd recommend you find out what shape the records are actually in before spending money on a system to play them on.
Just trying to help.
