Thanks for the recommendation Brian it really is great stuff. There were a few water marks in the wood and they have completely gone. Might try a bit on my speaker cabinets next.

Cheers James . I'm sure you know to try it on a part of the speakers which can't be seen first , like the bottom

Looks great James. Nice to see my old lid again as well ! ( hope Brian s still not salivating about it though !.) best wishes
Hi Brian, yes it is indeed perfect and a rare find in new condition. Very occasionally new GL75's are found with all their original packaging. I saw one last year but don't know what it sold for.
These are seriously good turntables and with a good cartridge are extremely capable. I did not expect great things when I bought it but having serviced it and used it I now know why they have a forum entirely based on Lenco's!

Yeah, I overpaid for mine last year but have enjoyed it so much i m not fretting about it to much. Recently bought
a v15 and generic thakker stylus for £66 on ebay, incredible sound for the money, big upgrade I feel from 75EJ.

Someone s made a list on Audiokarma. org of the best shure cartridge s. The first 7 are v15 variants and the last 3 are 97 s. Only
someone s opinion of course. I was lucky with mine as some one listed a v15 type 3 as untested on the bay, which I presumed
was faulty but adding the thakker stylus and its worked like a treat. Best £ 66 spent on hi fi me thinks. Superb sound.
Jim, I've got a V15 mk3 with the best stylus that Shure designed (forgot its name), rest assured that your '55 is just as good if not better. Try and hear one before you buy one, you might be underwhelmed with the V15 compared to your hot rodded '55. Just sayin.....
