I love em but don't have room, they are different to the later 63, 57's are more direct treble.A lot complain about lack of bass, they are an acquired taste indeed.

They were very tricky to use - more suited to tracking force in Pounds and Ounces than Grams...

I had one of them Goldring jobbies when I bought my first Goldring turntable in 1964 but it was naff, unlike the Garrard SFG3 which I still use now. Very accurate and dead easy to use.
