It's an audio-technica Automatic Stereo Turntable System AT-PL50. I got it via Amazon, but from a sort of Dented Box Warehouse that acts in conjunction with them (so has their guarantee and their free shipping) -- i.e., I paid around $77 (I think) rather than around $100.
It comes with Cakewalk Pyro software that a lot of folk seem to have had trouble with; I'm not saying they're thick, but the only difficulty this particular tech duffer had was getting it to accept my serial number during setup (TIP: omit all hyphens and full stops when typing in serial number), and after that I had not a scintilla of difficulty.
In fact, for the recording part of things I'm continuing to use my old Stepvoice Recorder Free Edition, which seems to give a fractionally better sound quality than the Pyro equivalent. But Pyro's great for splitting the LP-side-long files up into individual tracks (should one want to be bothered doing this).

Ask if there's more info you'd like!
