HISTORY:
Very sad to see yet another very nice old English Garrard turntable become an 'organ donor' but at least this component may have a use to another Garrard enthusiast/restorer out there somewhere!
Ex the Laboratory Series 60 MKII which in a moment of madness lost it's head! Without the headshell and cartridge the turntable was pretty useless to me so it has become an organ donor.
While the turntable was a nicely engineering machine, there were "other issues" such as a broken tone arm rest - dratted plastic rears it's ugly head ...
So, let's get on with describing the spare part I am offering here - remember, I am offering 'organs' from the turntable, the 60 MKII is now a 'non-turntable', it is no more ... ceases to exist because 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 (and even some DUAL's I believe) - PLEASE CHECK YOUR SERVICE MANUAL TO ESTABLISH THE SUITABILITY OF THIS PART TO YOUR OWN TURNTABLE.
GARRARD 60 MKII TURNTABLE - Control Decor Cover (with two buttons) ONLY
This is the cover of the function control and speed selection area on the right hand side of the turntable, along with the two Black plastic friction fit buttons
I have borrowed some of this item description from the Service Manual for this turntable as Garrard refers to these parts as the Control Cover moulding, Decor plate and knob(s) which I have called buttons as these are rectangular buttons and I always think of knobs are being round - it's a "me" thing.
Part numbers (Garrard references) are: 72500, 73780 & 2x 72507
COSMETIC CONDITION:
USED
CLEAN
Undamaged plastic moulding
Undamaged plastic buttons
NO cracking
One small mark on the Aluminium (Oh you shiny thing, you) decor plate - I was unable to remove this mark.
Labelling is clear and unworn
Three securing rectangular tabs fit into the metal turntable chassis and were previously secured at the factory by heating/melting the plastic tabs on the underside. I have cleanly cut this melted part away so to refix onto another turntable, just use a suitable adhesive to fix the moulding in place once again.
The two buttons are push friction fit (very tight)
Now packed into a sealed clear plastic packet awaiting another Garrard turntable that it will call "home"
