RCA speakers

My sister has an old Telefunken record player but doesn't have speakers for it. The output from the record player is RCA (see attached pic).
I think the speakers in this link would work with it (they have RCA out):https://www.thomann.de/ie/hercules_dj_speaker_32_smart.htm?glp=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwoPL2BRDxARIsAEMm9y8NkiY2MbCqLTrr20a7wWNmMLBKgCIL3MoknnQmX5Dz1L9O50ZLAvUaAiGpEALw_wcB but they are a bit costly and would cost a bit to have sent here.
Is there anywhere in Ireland I can get speakers like that? My googling only came up with that link. Are those type of speakers really so hard to find?

RCA adapters are pretty easy to come by, and cheap. That should broaden your speaker options.
Without more details on the record player I don't know if you'll need a phono preamp. But get an adapter, and plug in some computer speakers, or whatever you have around, and see what happens.

The model number of the record player is attached. It's ancient.
I tried an adapter and got sound output to a set of PC speakers that way but it was too low. She needs a proper set of RCA speakers I think but would prefer to buy near home.

Sounds more like she needs a preamp.
If you have an old amp/stereo with a phono input you need to plug it into that.
