If it's a GL68 or GL75 (ISTR both were available as platter only) you
will be unable to lift the platter off without holding upward pressure
against it and giving the centre spindle a sharp tap with a hammer or
something similar.

Not sure, but IIRC the versions with no arm were nominally just an 'L68/75'
as Lenco did the turntable/base and Goldring the arm.

The GL68 was (a vertical) idler wheel drive against a quite large motor
the armature shaft of which had four stepped areas each being slightly
tapered to allow minor speed correction/adjustment.

Similar for 75. Long tapered spindle with some 'steps'.

Slainte,
