I've been sent pictures of a Goble spinet and asked to comment.  It's 5 octaves, 1971, and has two pedals (!) and what looks like two registers. 

So my first reaction was "steer clear" - but on second thoughts, it may for all I know be a decent instrument for someone who just wants it for accompaniment.  What do people think?  If anyone wants to see the pictures, I'll ask for permission to make them available.

best wishes,
David
