Garrard 25

Almost nothing is documented about the Garrard 25. The Archive's searches of period publications have not turned up a direct reference to the model. A Garrard advertisement in Audio (October 1964, p.33) promoted the LAB 80 at $99.50, the Type A70 at $84.50, and the Model 50 at $44.50. No "25" appears in it, or anywhere else in the surviving record consulted for this page.

Whether the 25 was a distinct design, an export variant, or a short-lived badge is unknown. No specifications, original price, production years, or service literature have been traced. Don't confuse it with the better-documented SP25 Mk III. That is a different model, and Audio-Collection (n.d., p.65) listed it as a low-budget hi-fi deck at £15.85.

If you have an advertisement, a manual, or a photo of a Garrard 25, the Archive would welcome the record.
