Vinyl to PC? HELP?

Does someone know how to transfer/record a vinyl recording to PC? If so, and you're willing to offer some advice, I'd be truly grateful. I'm too technically challenged to figure it out. If I can get it to PC – I think I can figure it out from there. If you'd like my eternal gratitude, my email is below;

I've got a pile of vinyl I'd like to listen to, a good chunk of it's proving difficult to find on CD. The old turntable is getting irritable - I'm afraid it'll give out on me and the sounds will be trapped in the vinyl forever! .... or at least 'til I come up with the extra cash to replace it ...

Although I think vinyl has more character - it's just not so portable -

There are several sites out there explaining how to do it:

Then you have something like the Teac GF-350, but the soundquality may not be up there according to reviews.

Thanks, I'll take a peek at the sites and see how I make out

Just bought one of these myself.. works a treat.

Cool, an USB turntable !

A litle expensive though, but I guess this can be considered "professional" gear...

Whoa . . . nifty!
The price isn't that steep considering the cost of replacing just the stylus on my old Sony would likely be ₤80+ (if I could find one). This way, I'd get an OK turntable, plus the added capability. I'll have to see if any of the daft Canadian retailers over here are smart enough to carry something like this.

Cheers

Been considering this USB deck for a while to get all my 12" vinyl on cd. Is the quality of the transfer good enough though?
