Look around for a used Denecke PS-2. It's good clean Phantom(stereo) that you can run on 9 volt batteries. You may need an adaptor to go from xlr to mini(to go into your recorder). But I think that would be a good way to do it too.
Looks like this is what I may need then? (package #1)

He even had the mic cables I would need as well.
Not sure if I would need the transformers??
That should get you started, for a very fair price. I would get the transformers. You may not need them, but they might help, and the price is right. I have used my Naks > R-09, and played with LSD2 > Denecke PS-2 > R-09, and you have to crank the gain way up, and they you start to get hiss. The C4s are intended to work with a low impedance preamp, and the R-09 is intended to work with high impedence mics. The impedance transformers should give you a boost so you don't have to crank the gain on the R-09 so much, which should help your noise floor.
There are a lot of other analog preamps not mentioned above, and most of them will probably enhance your sound quality a bit, but most of them are going to cost you "at least a few hundred dollars". If you get that yard sale stuff, it will get you going and give you time to experiment and decide what you want in the long run, and you can sell them again in yard sale for almost what you paid for it.
