Garrard 411 (circa 1956–1958)

Not much is documented about the Garrard 411. The period record shows it in two different forms. An advertisement in Audio (June 1956, p.3) listed the 411 among Garrard's record-player models, which suggests a turntable or changer. A year later, High Fidelity (February 1957, p.118) described an "AR‑411 Amplifier" rated at 15 watts peak power, with frequency response from 15 to 25,000 cps and inputs for magnetic phono, radio tuner, tape, and auxiliary. It measured 3½ × 13 × 7 inches. By late 1958, an Audio piece (December 1958, p.64) made passing mention of a Garrard transcription turntable-tone arm combination, again with the "411" designation, claiming frequency response of 20 to 20,000 cps ±1 dB and harmonic distortion below 1%. The surviving sources don't say whether these references describe one product or a family of units (a turntable, an amplifier, or a combined system). No production years, original price, or further specifications have been traced.
