Believe it or not, this is a 50 year old piece. The Garrard Zero 100 is a two-speed idler-wheel design from the company's heyday. This example was obviously very well kept, so we gave it a tune-up and a little cosmetic attention. The auto function shows it's age, but the manual operation is running smoothly. Absolutely stunning in person.

- Liner Notes
Garrard's Zero 100, in basic performance, easily ranks with the finest automatic turntables on the market. Its novel arm-which really works as claimed-and its other unique design features suggest that a great deal of development time, plus sheer imagination, went into its creation.
