If you really want a good record player someday I’d suggest getting an audio technica lp120
I strictly only buy older records (usually 1970’s ish) and the sound quality as well as the way I have the whole time arm set up (which plays the records well and doesn’t damage them) makes the music sound fantastic!
I absolutely love the aesthetic of that player though and I’m happy you got to experience the passing down of records just like I have!

Looks like the connections are RCA. That's old school. But with adapters, you can use most any speaker.
Something like this would allow you to hook up regular speakers to this thing.
Other than that I have no specific reccomendations. This thing isn't high quality, so get whatever you can find that's cheap and enjoy it.
They still make needles for this, so if the record player turns, but the stylus is shot, you can replace it for something like $20.
You might even find speakers with RCA connectors like that at another yard sale. But I don't think they've made them since the 70s or 80s.
So cool! Don’t forget to buy supplies to clean the records so they last longer and sound better (also so the needle lasts longer). I use a kit very similar to this Record Cleaning Kit
If you're going to get him a brush this is a better brush. http://www.amazon.com/Hunt-Carbon-Fiber-Record-Brush/dp/B001A9ST2G
