What requirements should a record player meet ... to justify its inclusion in your high fidelity system?
The tone arm should be able to take your choice of any of the excellent low mass cartridges now on the market. These cartridges are sensitive, and the stylus assemblies are highly compliant. The arm must track them perfectly, and trip reliably, with very light stylus pressure.
The turntable, motor, and drive mechanism must be so silent...so meticulously engineered...that they will not add the slightest noise or distortion at any frequency or volume level.
To be compatible with wide range speaker systems and highly refined amplifiers (including solid state transistorized equipment), the entire record playing unit must be built to an exceptionally high order of precision.
Performance is the key factor, but automatic convenience and sensible price are also essential for maximum enjoyment.
Four years ago, these stringent requirements motivated Garrard to produce the original Automatic Turntable . Type A . a new concept which combined the advantages of single play turntables with the convenience of automatic record changers. The instantaneous, dramatic acceptance of the Type A established a significant trend, and today more people choose a Garrard than all other high fidelity record playing units combined.
Now . Garrard presents three highly advanced automatic turntables, plus an entirely new class, the first Automatic Transcription Turntable! This exceptional development by the Garrard laboratorics is for the ultimate in music systems

Lab 80's tone arm is unique. It is built of Afrormosia, the least resonant of all woods, held in precision alignment by an aluminum stabilizer along its entire length.
B
This is a true dynamically balanced tone arm, and when adjusted as shown on these pages, it is the ideal transport for cartridges of professional calibre.
A To adjust the tone arm, first turn the knurled knob under the calibrated scale (on the side of the arm) until the pointer reads zero.
E
An important note regarding stylus pressure and protection of your records:
As a service, we wish to point out that under no circumstances should any cartridge be operated at a lower stylus pressure than that prescribed by its manufacturer. Specifications for stylus pressure are determined by the basic design of the cartridge. To track at a pressure lower than specified may cause many undesirable effects, in terms of damage to record grooves; intermodulation and other distortions.
D Because of today's featherweight tracking, the slightest interference with free movement of the tone arm may affect the performance of the cartridge. To avoid this, the Lab 80 arm moves on special needle pivots, set into ball bearings. The flat geometry of the arm cancels out warp-wow distortion; and the low center of gravity eliminates sensitivity to external jarring.

Next, balance the arm until it floats level at zero tracking force. This is done by rotating the fine adjustment on the movable counterweight at the rear of the arm. (Note that the counterweight is isolated in rubber.)

Then set the correct tracking force, as specified by the cartridge manufacturer. Turn the knurled knob under the scale, listening for the clicks, which can also be felt. Each click represents 1/4 gram, providing an accurate audible setting, confirmed visually by the indicator on the side of the arm. (Since some professional cartridges today may be tracked as lightly as a fraction of a gram, this uniquely accurate method of setting is necessary to insure the best performance.)
The lightweight design of the shell makes it compatible with all cartridges including the new low mass professional types. The shell slides into the tonearm on channels and is fixed rigidly with a knurled screw, so that it cannot resonate or rotate from side to side. A new long finger lift insures safety in handling the shell.
One major problem in all record playing equipment is the tendency of the arm to slide inward across the record. This is overcome in the Lab 80 through an exclusive, patented bias compensator which accurately cancels out any tone arm skating force, making it possible to use a cartridge with the highest compliance and most delicate stylus assembly. Setting the bias compensator is simplicity itself. A weight on the compensator is moved to a position along its scale corresponding to the stylus pressure which has been set, establishing a direct relationship with the stylus pressure reading on the tonearm.

Garrard has never been interested in gadgetry. The Garrard policy is to incorporate every convenience or refinement – but only when it serves a practical function. Three such refinements are shown on these pages:
B
Integral cueing. As cartridges have become lighter and stylus assemblies more delicate, so has the danger of damage from manual handling increased. Now, in the Lab 80, Garrard has incorporated an integral cueing device, which is activated whenever the manual lever is thrown. The tone arm is suspended safely and accurately ½ inch over any record groove selected. Then press the tab control on the front of the tone arm rest . and the arm gently lowers under featherweight control. The first demonstration will show you dramatically the convenience and safety which this feature imparts.
(If it is desired to lift the arm off the record during play, simply touch the manual switch, and the arm rises gently, directly over the record groove. You can then safely reposition the arm or reactivate the cueing device, and lower the stylus into the very same groove!)

B Tab controls. Lab 80 features finger tip tab controls, handsomely designed and set into an engraved escutcheon. Switches for "manual" and "automatic" are separate, yet all functions are coordinated on this single panel. The tabs are easily accessible... require only featherweight touch to start, reject, or stop, and insure safety from damaging pickup jump due to accidental jarring of the record player. An illuminated indicator tells the record size selected and acts as a pilot light.

Concerning manual vs. automatic play: With the present state of the art in the design and manufacturing of tone arms – as exemplified most particularly by the low geometry of the Lab 80 and other dynamically-balanced Carrard arms – the maximum variation in stylus pressure between one record and a stack is in the order of 0.2 gram (two-tenths of a gram).
Thus, it will be seen that the significance of the question of whether or not it is important to play only single records at a time on any turntable, has been eliminated. The contention that stacking several records creates flutter and wow, is flatly untrue.
The convenience of automatic play, when desired, can hardly be overstated. It can add an entire area of pleasure to your record enjoyment. The problem, however, has been to provide this convenience without impairing the high standards of performance which are essential in a modern music system; and the search for perfection among methods of automatic record handling has been going on for years.
Now, the Garrard Laboratories have developed a remarkable new precision spindle for automatic play. It differs from all other automatic spindles by incorporating the reliable, time tested Garrard pusher platform principle.

The trip mechanism is the device which activates the automatic record changing and the automatic shutoff at the end of the last record. Since the tone arm mechanism must engage the trip mechanism, the problem with automatic units has been to accomplish this with the least possible amount of friction or drag. Indeed, one of the points claimed in favor of single play turntables has been the lack of a trip mechanism, even though no one will dispute the tremendous advantage of the automatic feature. In the Lab 80, the trip mechanism is revolutionary and obviates this argument. The trip assembly is molded completely of Delrin® the remarkable new Dupont "slippery" material which has an exceptionally low co efficient of friction. Resistance of the trip mechanism to the tone arm engaging it. becomes virtually unmeasurable.
The tripping cycle is activated by ultrasensitive magnetic repulsion (through the use of magnets with polarities which repel each other), eliminating the need for mechanical contact. The combination of these two principles, ingeniously applied for the first time to an automatic record playing device, is the answer of the Garrard engineers to the stringent requirements of ultra sensitive cartridges, allowing the unit to trip reliably, at virtually zero force.
In use, the automatic ausher spindle is relatively simple. The stack of records is securely held on three widely extended arms. Then, utilizing the basic Garnard technique, the arms retract and the individual records are
This is the technique which established Garrard as the pre-eminent name in automatic record playing equipment, because it proved, over the years, completely reliable and gentle to records. Now, the pusher platform principle has been designed into the spindle, creating the safest, most positive-acting device of its kind.
(Of course, this spindle is used only for automatic play. A short spindle is provided for your use in playing single records.)

The cast turntable is 12 inches in diameter, and extremely heavy. In itself, it is an impressive example of precision craftsmanship. Each turntable is statically and dynamically balanced to eliminate any possibility of wow (uneven musical pitch) or rumble, and to insure precise, constant speed, through flywheel action, regardless of variations in voltage.
The special turntable mat is formulated from a remarkable new anti-static material. It dissipates the electrical charge on records, so that they will not attract dust. Dust is one of the key causes of record wear, as well as unwanted noise. The fine grooves of the mat have been scientifically designed to provide full support to the record.

Constant, reliable speed, of course, is essential. Recent tests confirm the traditional Garrard viewpoint that the motor type (induction or hysteresis) is not the key factor in fine reproduction. It is basic compatibility of the motor to the particular turntable/drive mechanism, and meticulous manufacturing, which determine outstanding results.
The Lab 80 is powered by the unsurpassed Laboratories Series® motor (with dynamically balanced armature), designed and built entirely by Garrard, which will maintain speed within NAB standards even through the unlikely line voltage variation of 95 to 135 volts.
The loose assumption or contention that only a hysteresis motor can maintain speed with such reliability is simply untrue.
It is isolated from the unit plate by a revolutionary suspension system of rubber anti-vibration devices and damping pads. This ingenious mounting system frees the Lab 80 from any vestige of spurious vibrations which might reflect in record reproduction.
The entire Lab 80 unit floats on a new 5-point foam-damped spring suspension system, which isolates it from external jarring and the mechanical interference known as "feedback". Installation is simple and practical. The Lab 80 is stereo wired, with a 4-pin, 5-wire system; separate ground connections ... the danger of hum-causing factors. Leads plug into the player with Amplok plug (for AC) and twin female phono sockets on the unit plate, for the audio connection. This simplifies connecting or disconnecting the player. Dimensions are compact enough to fit most high fidelity cabinets.
Specifications: 2 speeds: 33%3 and 45 rpm. 100-130 volts, 60 cycles AC (50 cycle pulley available).
Minimum cabinet dimensions: 17" left to right, 1434" front to reari 5½" above and 3½" below motor board.
Constant, reliable speed, of course, is essential. Recent tests confirm the traditional Garrard viewpoint that the motor type (induction or hysteresis) is not the key factor in fine reproduction. It is basic compatibility of the motor to the particular turntable/drive mechanism, and meticulous manufacturing, which determine outstanding results.
The Lab 80 is powered by the unsurpassed Laboratories Series® motor (with dynamically balanced armature), designed and built entirely by Garrard, which will maintain speed within NAB standards even through the unlikely line voltage variation of 95 to 135 volts.
The loose assumption or contention that only a hysteresis motor can maintain speed with such reliability is simply untrue.
It is isolated from the unit plate by a revolutionary suspension system of rubber anti-vibration devices and damping pads. This ingenious mounting system frees the Lab 80 from any vestige of spurious vibrations which might reflect in record reproduction.
The entire Lab 80 unit floats on a new 5-point foam-damped spring suspension system, which isolates it from external jarring and the mechanical interference known as "feedback". Installation is simple and practical. The Lab 80 is stereo wired, with a 4-pin, 5-wire system; separate ground connections ... the danger of hum-causing factors. Leads plug into the player with Amplok plug (for AC) and twin female phono sockets on the unit plate, for the audio connection. This simplifies connecting or disconnecting the player. Dimensions are compact enough to fit most high fidelity cabinets.

The Type A70 features a completely new dynamically balanced tone arm, designed to an exceptionally high standard. Because of its low mass and flat geometry, this arm offers impressive advantages in tracking capability. Since total side pressures acting on the arm at the stylus have been kept infinitesimal, the Type A70 achieves outstandingly clean reproduction with modern cartridges.
The slide-in shell locks positively into position and takes any cartridge, including the very light, highcompliance professional types. The cutaway form provides low mass, and simplifies installing and servicing the cartridge. An extended finger lift enables the user to handle the arm safely and conveniently.

Stylus pressure on the Type A70 is adjusted in two simple steps, similarly to the Lab 80. First, the sliding counterbalance weight is moved to the position which balances the cartridge (so that the arm floats level above the turntable), and locked in position by tightening an accessible adjusting screw. The arm is now in balance, at zero stylus pressure.
Then, the correct tracking force prescribed for the cartridge is set by turning the adjusting screw under the tone arm. The reading is taken on the calibrated scale at the side of the arm. As the knurled screw turns, a click is heard (and felt) for each ¼ gram. The stylus pressure setting, therefore, is extremely accurate.
As in the Lab 80, the Type A70 tone arm incorporates an adjustable blas compensator anti-skating device. Simply slide the weight to the notch corresponding on the scale to the stylus pressure. With the bias compensator set, the arm will track accurately and without distortion – even if the player is intentionally tilted, the record warped, or not concentric. It will bring out the best in any cartridge used, applying equal pressure on both sides of the stereo record groove to minimize stylus and record wear.
The full-sized, balanced turntable of the Type A70 is unique, having certain advantages not found in other units. Actually it consists of two turntables balanced together...a drive table inside and a heavy cast turntable outside. These are separated by a resilient foam barrier, which damps out noise and vibration. Being non-ferrous, the cast table offers no attraction to magnetic pickups, which might affect tracking pressure. The heavy turntable weight is the optimum for perfect torque and flywheel action in the Type A70.
