Many thanks for letting me join
So I’ve gone through my loft and have got my stereo system out.
Thinking back, with my brother, bought this system originally early 70s.
It consists of a Goldring Lenco GL75 turntable with Shure stylus. Got a brand new stylus sitting in the box. Still got the original box that it came in. Only issue is the plastic lid is damaged in respect of the hinges are broken off.
Trio amplifier
KEF speakers.
Then additionally I’ve got the newer stuff I bought in the early 90s. This being a radio and cassette player.
Now what to do with it because I haven’t got many of my original vinyls with my rock stuff from the 70s.

Lots you can do with a GL75 these days, you can get them to sound half-decent. https://www.lencoheaven.net/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=rgfc95kd8fep94jtrhotij8t60;www

Which Trio amp? Which KEFs? Some of the old stuff from both companies is still good by today's standards.

Welcome to AoS Peter,

Yes, the Goldring GL75 is a good turntable and well suited to fettling.
