HISTORY:
Very sad to see yet another very nice old English Garrard turntable become an 'organ donor' but at least this component may give new life to another Garrard enthusiast/restorer out there somewhere!
Ex the fabulous AT60 turntable, produced around the mid 1960's
Early Garrard gear is just so good, particularly the 301/401
While the AT60 was a nicely engineering machine, oh dear those plastic bits and pieces (tonearm rest etc) just didn't last the years and I have decided to make this AT60 an "organ donor"
So, let's get on with describing the spare part I am offering here - remember, I am offering 'organs' from the turntable, the AT60 is now a 'non-turntable' as I have carefully and completely dismantled it!
NOTE: Keep in mind that many Garrard turntable parts from this era are interchangeable with other Garrard models - PLEASE CHECK YOUR SERVICE MANUAL TO ESTABLISH THE SUITABILITY OF THIS PART TO YOUR OWN TURNTABLE.
GARRARD AT60 TURNTABLE - Head Shell Assembly SPARE PART
Part #: 70870
Often simply referred to as the "M7" head shell - it is used on a number of Garrard turntables, not just the AT60
This is the complete head that pushes on the end of your tonearm, you then rotate the lock ring and away you go.
I am NOT providing the cartridge with this head shell, I felt it was more "useable" to someone else without the original cartridge but I do have that cartridge listed HERE (SHURE M75CS)
The headshell is substantially plastic, metal on top with the distinctive screw which holds the bracket underneath in place.
The bracket for the cartridge is also supplied, with the two very small screws.
This is a "clip lock" style of bracket, you would need to make sure your cartridge will work with this bracket.
HEADSHELL DIMENSIONS:
Length: 66.5mm (excluding the "end" connector which fits into the hollow tonearm)
Width: 26mm
COSMETIC CONDITION:
CLEAN
Unmarked, no scratching
Bracket is in great shape
ALL tonearm wiring is in place with connectors for the cartridge pins.
Since taking the photographs, creating this advertisement, I have now placed the headshell onto a foam base and sealed it within clear plastic to maintain the condition.
