Designed to
meet the demand for a high-quality single record playing unit at moderate cost,
this unit incorporates a number of special features including a cue and pause
control, calibrated fine stylus force
adjustment, pickup arm bias compensation and a large turntable. On completion
of playing a record the pickup arm automatically rises, returns to its rest and
the motor switches off.
The Garrard
SP25 MkII is a 4-speed single record playing unit incorporating an improved
tubular aluminium pickup arm with a resiliently mounted counterbalance weight
and a calibrated dial to set stylus force easily. It is elegantly styled, and
has many features associated with more costly equipment, such as a cueing
device to lower and raise the pickup gently, a patented pickup arm bias
compensator and a lightweight plug-in pickup shell which will accommodate a
wide range of cartridges. In addition it has a large, loaded turntable driven
by a magnetically screened resiliently mounted Garrard Laboratory Series
electro motor, through a retractible rubber wheel. The pickup returns to its
rest automatically after playing a record and unit switches off.
