    Garrard 401 Tone Arm recommendations

    Hi All, I recently acquired a garrard 401 without a plinth and tone arm. I have a dynavector Karat 17DS that I would like to use with this table. ( unless that’s a horrible decision?)( I’m open to other cartridge recommendations) I’d like to keep the tone arm under a budget of 1200 dollars. I...

    Scored a cool GE RC-1671 console w/ Garrard Autoslim TT. What now?

    I got this cool GE console w/ Garrard TT for $20 at an estate sale. It's nice and well-kept, and mostly in working order. Especially nice for playing 78s with the special stylus! Only problems are finicky speed selector and broken 45 changer spindle. I've replaced the latter. Wondering what you...

    Converting a Garrard Lab 80 to manual operation, and headshell question

    Pulled a Garrard Lab 80 out of the trash a while ago. As I tried to get it going I found it'd run, but slip-sliding and slow. I thought the auto mechanisms were causing problems so I removed a bunch of the auto parts. When I got the platter off, I discovered - I think - why the previous victim...

    Garrard Model 82?

    Hi all! I’m a semi long term record collector, and recently got an old Garrard model 82 from my papa. Now anything’s better than the Crosley suitcase that I’ve been using, but I was wondering if these were any good?

    Restoring Garrard Type A

    Hi all, I recently got a Garrard Type A and am cleaning it up and re-lubricating it. Has a Empire 108 cartridge and is hooked up to an Eico HF-85. It’s actually in amazing condition considering it’s been sitting in a basement since the 70’s. The idle wheel rubber is in great shape. The only...

    I never thought I’d actually drive anywhere to buy a Garrard turntable. Usually I just end up with them with a grab bag of equipment. I saw this one come up for sale for a very reasonable price, did some research and figured I’d see what it’s all about. The guy said it was all working as far...

    Seeking suggestions for a Garrard Model 70

    I live in the Washington DC area and some years ago I acquired a Garrard Model 70. I have done little more than plug it in, and the platter spins. I will check it out a bit more throughly, but I am thinking to give to give this turntable away (and perhaps some other system components as well). I...

    Garrard SL 65 wobble and spring

    No, wobble and spring is not a British dish of leftovers. I found this changer on Craigslist for a bit of nothing, but the platter wobbles up and down as it spins. See video below: Also, there is a small spring under the tonearm pivot with a loose, unattached end. I did download the service...

    Garrard Z2000B won't adjust from 7" to 10" & 12" record

    I'm working on a Garrad Z2000B. Everything works correctly except it won't adjust from 7" to 10" or12" in automatic mode. It changes speeds from 45 to 33 but it just won't drop the arm at 10" or 12". In manual mode it works perfectly. It hold speed properly. When I change from 33 to 45 I see the...

    I've been thrilled with this turntable since buying it in my local RESTORE for $6.00 not long ago. The manager noticed me walk in, told me to stop (town of only 36K people where I'm a regular), and led me to the turntable (he knows I like GOOD home audio). He let me know it's British, has an...

    Ringing Garrard Model 82

    Hello, I have seen a number of forums on deadening ringing aluminum platters, but the use of rubber mats and felt and Plastidip rubber coating has had zero effect on this turntable. I cannot find anything that would be scraping the platter, and I have used a couple of different idler wheels...
