Re: Restore a Beau Decca
That is a lovely cabinet, worth the investment in effort to bring it back to life. I would keep with the decca speaker config and mono amp (keep the cost down!) but feed with a stereo cartridge in a decent tonearm.
I am a lenco fan, but a gl75 often goes over a hundred quid on a good day off ebay. The light platter version gl72, or the more vintage looking gl55, are less sought after and often cheaper. I dont think you would hear much difference between a 75 and a 72.
Good luck with your project!
