Answer #1
You can also get them with USB so you can transfer the music to PC if you wish.

This one is a more solid looking turntable.

Answer #2
My missus bought me one of these Ion USB ones a while back for my birthday, they were on sale locally here in the UK.

It’s very sturdy, and I’ve had no issues with it (has a built in pre-amp as well) If you want to rip 78rpm, then I think you do it at 45rpm on the turntable and adjust the settings in Audacity or whatever program you use.
If you have a hifi with RCA inputs, then you can probably pick up a cheap quality second hand turntable one on E-bay.
You don’t specify if you need it to be USB, or if you have an existing hi-fi setup.

I only posted that link to show you what I was referring to, and a rough guide in $
We have no clue where in the world you are, so cannot provide links to places near to you. I was presuming you were in USA as you asked in $, I was gonna post a link from amazon UK. You can use Google to find local retailers if you know what you want.
