Well done for getting this lovely thing going again. I wonder how many ended up in Sweden? Was Goodmans well known there in the 1970s and earlier? Note that the "Goodmans" name that appears on cheap Chinese TVs etc. nowadays is nothing to do with the original company.

I rescued one a few years ago as it was going to be dumped, having been replaced with a little Philips micro system. It worked very well, though the controls always tended to crackle. I gave it away in the end to somebody whose own one had been destroyed in a flood.

I also had a Module 80 receiver with inbuilt GL-75 turntable once, which I was very fond of. The One-Ten was often found with the later GL-85 built in: https://www.picclickimg.com/d/l400/p...GL-85-with.jpg

Or sometimes a Garrard:
