Being a combined stereo tuner and amplifier, the receiver was a key hi-fi product in the late 1960s and early '70s. The big European names were making the running as the Japanese companies marketing receivers were styling them for an American audience, which wasn't always to the taste of British consumers. On the other hand, models such as the B&O Beomaster 3000 and Braun Regie 510 [ HFN Jun '16] were aspirational products that motivated many other firms to produce something similar. Handsome, affordable and boasting a top-notch tuner to boot, should this early '70s receiver top your list when it comes to securing a pre-cherished radio star? We find out
There may be, however, a good reason why any particular vintage turntable is for sale at a relatively high price, which brings me to my next caveat: condition. Don’t buy junk. Issues to be aware of include the condition of the stylus, the bearing (When was the bearing oil last replaced? Does the platter make scraping sounds when it rotates?) The attached cables, are they in good condition? Any signs of fraying or rust? Does the arm move freely on its bearing? Is the motor still usable? How about the belt, if applicable, does it need replacing? Look inside the chassis – is it full of rubbish, dust and fluff? Does the turntable hum? There may be grounding issues.The tuner was no less well engineered, with an electronically tuned FM front-end using FETs and the latest ceramic filters in the following stages. The AM front-end also used FETs, which was an unusual refinement. A stereo decoder for FM was of course built in, being a basic regenerative type since IC-based PLL decoders were not yet available. Meanwhile, high-quality construction techniques were employed throughout, with the extensive use of alloy die-castings and extrusions.
Almost all audio enthusiasts will know Goodmans for its range of loudspeakers. However, the company's other hi-fi products are less well remembered, despite the fact that more than one or two achieved considerable popularity among buyers. The One Ten arrived the following year boasting improved performance and a striking new cabinet design. In 1973 the Module 90 was launched – a 45W-per-channel model that took some of the One Ten's styling cues and went on to become the most successful member of the series. To help with exports and give the unit a Continental feel the bands on the One Ten were marked with German abbreviations, eg, 'K' for short wave and 'U' for FM. All connectors at the rear were to DIN standards too. Inside, some noteworthy and advanced circuit techniques had been employed. The amp was DC coupled and rated at 50W per channel into 4ohm [see PM's Lab Report, p125]. Two integrated circuits were used in the preamplifier, one in the MM phono stage, and one as the active element for the tone controls. The power supplies to the preamp were symmetrical and electronically filtered while electronic protection was used in the output stages to protect against overload.

To hear some people talk you'd think that using one of these turntables is akin to dragging a nail across the record. Whilst it's true that these turntables and their ilk are not the greatest, there's no conclusive evidence that they damage records the instant they're played resulting in ruined vinyl.
