My 90 year old in laws are downsizing.  They have offered me their turntable, which probably hasn’t been used since 1990.  I’m not a vinylista, but I do have a Project Phono pre amp with usb output, and I have identified a few albums in a local resale shop that have never been digitalized that I would like to hear.  First step would be to just play the albums, then I may try to record them to a flash to transfer to my Melco NAS.
  I’ve been warned that the belt may be rotted out at that vintage, and I wouldn’t risk the stylus on any vinyl, so I am contemplating a decent but not to expensive mm cartridge, and that, along with any other useful advice, is what I seek to find here.  Any thoughts?

Good luck with your setup. A cheap Audio-Technica MM will probably be fine. 
Like a $69 AT-VM95E (Elliptical)
That P-J box is about as good as you want to attain your goal.

Have fun. 24-96 is preferred if you can get there.

True it's a lot of work to make LP tracks that sound better than digital. I pretty much rip only stuff that has never been publicly done.
Like Lani Hall. But after all the work Herb released the first three a coupla years back.
You might run into that - good luck.
