I realise this forum is dying g but would appreciate some advice should anyone care to give it.

I have just been given a long packed up Goldring Lenco GL69 record player. Other than missing its plastic top cover it appears to be in impeccable order.

Question I have is what should I be getting as a pre amp?

The obvious question back to you is how much do you want to spend, and whether you want a conventional hifi set-up, or plan to use it more for headphone listening. Seems like there are lots of interesting valve pre-amps that are great for driving headphones.

The round-up on What Hifi has all the obvious ones - the Rega has won awards for a few years now. https://www.whathifi.com/best-buys/accessories/best-phono-preamps
