Garrard Synchro Lab 55b Question

[Evan Hecht]

I recently picked up a Garrard Synchro Lab 55b for $20.00. It has the Shure M44-5 cartridge installed so I figured I’m already ahead. It’s missing the power cord. Does anyone know if the 95b power cord will work on the 55b? Can’t locate a 55b cord but several 95b cords are listed on EBay.

also got a Type A for $20 with original plastic cover intact.

thanks

Evan

Should be the same. I believe both use a 4 pin Amplok type plug. Looks like a Molex, but with flat contacts instead of round. Most record changers used the same power cords, it was more or less an industry standard to allow mfg to switch changers with no particular fuss.

Thanks. I thought they looked alike. I’m a computer guy so they did look like the molex. Appreciate the reply.

I wish they were Molex, those are easy to find.
