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 - Phono cartridge (pickup) SPARE PART
SHURE
Part #: M75CS
Tracks at 3 to 5 grams
Spherical stylus with a radius of .0006" or also referred to as conical
Frequency response: 20 to 20,000 Hz
Replacement stylus is called a N75B
This is the ORIGINAL Cartridge fitted with the AT60 that we had.
Tested before removal, both channels functioning fine.
This is the complete cartridge "clip fits" on the the special Garrard head shell bracket - I have one of those HERE
I am NOT providing the head shell with this SHURE cartridge. I felt it was more "useable" to someone else to separate the two components.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:
Yes you can see the stylus fitted and it is actually an original genuine SHURE styli (stamped into the front), I will provide that styli but it is intended ONLY for reference when you purchase a brand new styli (which you should always do with a second hand cartridge) because that styli is shot, gone to it's maker, it is "no more"! The tip has broken off!
So to make it clear, I am offering the CARTRIDGE ONLY with the styli fitted (and it will be supplied), but this styli is absolutely no good to you now.
COSMETIC CONDITION:
CLEAN
Unmarked, no scratching
Pins (gold plated) are in great shape and straight
Since taking the photographs and creating this advertisement, I have now placed the SHURE cartridge onto a foam base and sealed it within clear plastic to maintain the condition.
