Garrard 50 Mark II (1967)

Little is documented about the Garrard 50 Mark II beyond its launch advertising. The record shows a compact automatic turntable introduced in early 1967 at $54.50. Garrard pitched it well above its price class.

Garrard's own advertising ran in several 1967 issues of Audio (March 1967, p.5) and HiFI-Stereo (January 1967, p.6). It claimed the 50 Mark II was worthy of "comparison with the finest and most expensive automatic turntables," and touted its functional, handsome styling and "the latest advances in convenience and performance." It was one of five new Garrard automatic turntables announced that year. No independent test report or detailed specification sheet from the period has surfaced in this archive. Beyond the advertising and the $54.50 price, the 50 Mark II remains thinly documented.
