With such a venerable company as Garrard, turntables received customized attention, particularly in crafting plinths from wood. Items listed as "fair" or in "as-is" condition likely indicate a player containing parts for redistribution, but one of these players might still interest you because of its history. Good condition means that you might need to make minor tweaks, such as replacing a turntable belt, although there are no major flaws. Fine condition turntables show a bit more wear and tear, but all components are present and work well. A player in excellent condition works well and looks like new. A vintage record player needs grading for transparency before you decide on buying. Is condition important for Garrard turntables?
