London/Paris Record Player Stores?
Does anyone know of any vintage record/vinyl player stores in London or Paris that won't rip me off as a tourist? I'm looking for the non-USB type players. 33 1/3 type too

Except for very rare records, prices are not exorbitant in Europe as there are still quite a few vinyl records sloshing about. In London for instance charity shops like OXFAM bookshops still sell them second hand at derisory prices like a pound each, unless they are known to be valuable like original Beatles records etc…
Here are specialist shops, that are dearer but where quality is stringent:
Retro Vinyl Records Ltd

Eukatech Record Shop

Webster’s Record Shop
