Remarks[edit]
The Goldring GR-1 is offered modified as model GR-1 T by Räke Hifi Vertrieb in Germany. The simple Goldring board player has a plastic motor pulley that is replaced by an aluminium part at Transrotor. Pre-assembled is a Rega RB250 tonearm with Goldring Elektra system. Additionally, a massive aluminium record weight is included and the turntable itself is complemented by a brass plate engraved with the inscription "Goldring GR-1 T". From the construction itself, the turntable looks very similar to the Rega players, but the workmanship of the board is comparatively poor (grey Kuststoffurnier, rubbing strip-like rubber end edges). As with the Rega board players, the speed is switched by lifting off the platter and shifting the belt on the motor pulley.
