I have the lift off lid for it as well , may need some re wiring as it is still fitted with a round pin plug

It is 4 speed , 16 , 33 , 45 , 78 , I have not seen 16 rpm records before ??

Looking forward to seeing if it works and having a play

The TT is very smooth one little spin and it rotates for ages

Also looks to have a automatic arm lift mechanism

quite pleased with this :D

Anyone have any info or links re this TT ?

This looks similar to the B52 light platter model.
There were at least four European Lenco versions. I've not seen a B52 with Goldring badging before. Neat.

I owned one back in 1964 or so, as an upgrade on my first ever Hi-Fi turntable, the Garrard AT6. The Goldring was a step up on the garrard and should still sound good nowadays. I love the retro GPO grey paintwork.

I still have one here. Might get it out one day..:scratch:

Been too busy with Dual 1019's, TD124's, amps of various types and different speakers, so I'll remind himself next time we meet up. It's not as if Dave has a shortage of cartridges to try in it either :lol:

Well spotted!

It's a light platter model which means it's likely to be a little noisier than the GL75 types, but I always rather liked the G65 arm. Looks cool, too!
