Unfortunately, a high-quality tube amplifier will run you at least several thousand dollars nowadays. Same thing for a good turntable, there’s not much I would recommend for under a thousand.

But it warms up a room nicely.

In the late '80s, I bought a 52 Plymouth that used a 6 volt tractor battery. It had a radio. Tube of course, with vibrators for the power supply and everything. First time the kids rode in it, I reached over and flicked on the radio and then backed out of the driveway. My daughters told me that the radio didn't work.....

By the time we got to the corner, of course, it was on and working. ;)

Kids should experience some things first hand.
