Default Anyone remember Pioneer SL-570 turntable?

Hi. After years of being stored and carried about from house to house, I've 're-discovered' my old hifi. A Pioneer PL-570 turntable with Pioneer SX-650 receiver/amplifier and a pair of IMF Super Compact 2 speakers.
Does anyone remember any of this kit, or still use some of it?
I've got it set up in my dining room and I have to say that - given the receiver's rated 35 watts - it still sounds absolutely amazing!
Problem is .... I've still got no room for it.
So what are your thoughts?
Is it worth saving? Or should I sell? I mean, I LOVE the sound but lack of space is a BIG problem. An 8-month old baby in the house also makes me wary.
The TT has a Goldring cartridge and stylus and if I were to keep it, should I upgrade that? Considering it's been stored for the better part of 20 years, should I buy a new belt for the TT or even invest in a service?
Thoughts and ideas are welcomed and thanks for reading.
