I picked up this mini console several months ago. It has a single ended tube amp and is really great after some new caps. I have mostly ignored the turntable, but now that I am heavily back into them, I may see how it is.
Thanks, John

This is the Garrard AT6 auto-slim changer, produced 1962-1966, predecessor of the very succesfull SP-25 TT.

Looks very close, but it has no adjustment scale for tracking force as in the AT6 manual. Perhaps it is a different arm model?
It appears to be missing the little Garrard badge too, anyone have a spare one?

This is definitely a variant of the Garrard Auto-Slim series. There was an odd variant (didn't have the usual VTF scale on it) used in compacts and consoles. One of the better Garrard changers of it's day!

Would this thing be safe to use on my records? I would assume a new needle would be a good idea. It has a removable headshell, can I install a more modern cart into it?
Now that I have the owners manual, I am going to lube it as it is probably in need of some TLC.

Yep "Sloober" you are right, the arm is not "standard" AT6 (same as SP25) but looks identical to the SP20 arm. Shame there is no badge as the type would probably also be written on this badge (or it could have been a "rebadged" badge).All other features look identical to the AT6. Probably a "special" console version as "Kentteffeteller" said.

It is not the AS4 autoslim (more compact with a smaller platter, one-piece-arm and simpler design).

Can't help out any further.

Unless the albums or 45s were beat up I wouldn't use it to play anything. While it may have been great in the 60s TTs have improved a great deal since then.

If it is all in good working order, it might be good for playing 78s. As you can see from the picture, the flip-over stylus has the wide 78 stylus down in playing position (when the 78 label is up and readable, its stylus is down; when the LP label is up, its stylus is down). It is almost certainly a ceramic cartridge, probably tracking around 2-3 grams. You could upgrade it to a magnetic cartridge designed to track in the same range, but you'd need to interpose a preamp into the circuitry or you wouldn't hear much. If you use it for 78s, I don't recommend stacking them, since they can be rather fragile. It's a sharp looking old table!

I have much better tables, but this thing is just soo cool. The speakers are connected to the system by the copper hinges, and the table door has a mechanism to provide a slow decent. Just open the door, and it slowly lowers until flat. A red light comes on when opened illuminating the table. I have been using it with a CD player and with Am and FM, but was wondering about how good the table was after reading about all the Garrard owners. I considered trying to eith mount a better table into it, or mounting a CD player to the table area, but hate to molest something as nice as this is.
It still has a full set of Radioshack "Lifetime" tubes in it, so They are good for...forever!

In the UK at least, I think you'll find it was referred to as the AT5.
