Thanks for all your replies chaps. I'm certain its a GL '88' turntable.
At somepoint I will dig iti out of my Dad's loft and see what condition
its in. Same for the EPU 100 arm

I see the 1962 '88' included in the 'heavy platter' group here

Even more suited to an 'external' arm, then ... speaking of which;

Has anyone got any local knowledge of what these are currently sold for?

Another page there mentions "(Now Euro 50,- due to end of stock!)"

As for the EPU 100 arm ... I'd never heard of it, I think, but here's a
pic from somebody who evidently thought it good enough for a Linn LP12;-)

(Those Japanese ... ;=})

So, maybe just a new plinth and cartridge is all you need for it?
