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 - Manual Record Spindle
Material: Chrome plated metal
Seemingly insignificant but without this spindle, you cannot play your vinyl! Over the years I have seen so many discarded Garrards with this very important part missing - the problem is that this spindle is a friction fit and so it is easy to remove by "idle fingers" or sometimes if the turntable is held upside down (Yikes!) the spindle can drop out!
This spindle is for the manual playing of records "one at a time" not the auto system, the latter is a much longer spindle.
DIMENSIONS:
Total length: 33.25mm
Diameter (top section): 6.95mm
Lower section has one flat side, creating a D shape which fits into the platter
COSMETIC CONDITION:
USED
CLEAN
Shiny with no corrosion or damage to the spindle
Now packed into a sealed clear plastic packet awaiting a new turntable to live in
