Mass Clearout - Some Pics

Dave, I didn't know about your expertise on these. If it doesn't sell are you interested in it?

I might be, but possibly through an intermediary like Alex, if he doesn't mind

In the meantime, you've shown me yours, so I'll show you mine



Much of the auto mech is identical, but the trip levers were "Dualised" on later versions such as yours and 86SB, with the main trip lever permanently attached via a very low friction rotating link at the arm end and running/rolling/sliding on a ball bearing at the cam and platter end. the glued up linkages and on-cam trip pawl stay the same I believe

Garrard Zero 100SB

Picked up one of these the week before last with a Rogers cadet 3 all in one long case and wondered if they were any good

Wow! Garrards attempt at zero tracking error! Did it do the biz as advertised does anyone know?

Hi there,
I will take the Garrard is it's not spoken for. It will be just fine for listening to some 78's i have. I use a Towhshend Rock III for regular listening. I sent a visitor message to your profile.

The SB models are 33 and 45 only - sorry.....

The whole zero tracking error thing was a sales pitch really, since at the beginning of a record, the greater groove-pitch and "speed" makes tracking errors not an issue. The Zero 100 was a bit of a conversation piece and with modern higher compliance cartridges (not the wild ones), the sonics could be quite good, if not quite to good Dual standards. My AP76 continues to surprise me with it's basic honesty, not trying to reach for the stars but not totally disgracing itself either...

I could never get my Zero 100SB to sound any good. I think I had a Shure M95ED in it, maybe that was the problem.

Nowt wrang with the Shure M95ED/HE

Please read the first section of the thread.

I never liked the 95's over the 75's myself - too hard and flat toned and bland in the EJ version. Bearing in mind the HE transformed the other models I suspect a Jico stylus could sort them...

The Pickering XV15/625 and Stanton 681EEE seem to like these Garrards. Great vintage fun and you may get a pretty fair sound as well all being equal.
