Garrard Turntable SP 25 MK3 ( III ) Record deck – spares or repairs.
I bought this in a unit which has become a repair project but I ended up fitting a different turntable hence this is surplus and needs a new home.
I’ve tried it and there are two faults I know of.
1) If you play a record (say a single) it sticks about half way across. I’m fairly sure this is the common fault with these turntables that the grease in the reject mechanism has gone solid. I had one go at the mechanism as when I got it the turntable was so stuck it would hardly turn and I think another go with the heat gun would sort this.
2) The cartridge has no output. This isn’t a wiring problem but as far as I can tell the fitted cartridge is dead. I suspect the needle is also fairly duff but it will track a record (at least until half way through – see above !)
I will post this but it will be a difficult item to pack and send hence the slightly discouraging price. It also may require more repair once the carrier has done their stuff.
Hence collection from Southgate, London N14 7LA (about a mile from the tube) very much preferred.
Note:
It’s just a chassis turntable, no plinth etc. is included. Also the green crate isn’t included.
