Yes, it´s from Sweden. The correct name is BDT 1 (Belt Drive Turntable 1), not GST 1. The manufacturer "Inertia Industri AB" (Inertia Industry) was located in Gothenburg.
The production started in the early 70s and discontinued around 1978.
The player (and an integrated amplifier) was sold in several countries; for example Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Spain and Australia.
Note: The player shown is not equipped with it´s original arm.
Inertia disapperd from the market around 1980.
