This looks earlier than 1957, more like 1952. Decca Collectors will know all about these.
A downside is that without (expensive) modication, it cannot play Stereo LPs which form the greater part of most record collections. It will be fine for older LPs and 45s, if you have the seperate head for it. You have the 78 head and I would put it at c.£45.00/50.00. If you can find the other head then c.£90.00. But even at these prices, non-Decca fans may be unlikely to buy.
