I believe what you have there is the Garrard Type A changer.

There's an instruction/owner's manual here. Need to sign up up to get it.

Looks like the headshell is somewhere else. You'll need one -- standard headshells don't fit.

I have two garrard changer type headshells, PM me. free. was going to toss em.

The headshells for the As are different from many of the Garrard headshells -- they slip in and are clamped by the little arm sticking out on the side rather than bayoneting in like later Garrards with headshells rather than sleds.

ahh, dint know that...

I hoped you wouldn't take my comment the wrong way -- there are at least two different types of Garrard changer headshells. I didn't mean to imply anything about your knowledge -- I was trying to make sure the guy who asked what table it was understood. And I don't mean to imply anything about his state of knowledge either.

Ive got 2 Typa A's. And a spare everything for them.
Cool in a retro way but nothing special IMO.

don't worry, I didnt take it the wrong way.
it was an "OH, learn something new every day" moment.
I readily admit that I know little at best.
