Garrard GSS818
Not much is documented about the Garrard GSS818. It was a bookshelf speaker, not a turntable. That's an odd one for a company known for record changers and decks like the 301 and SP-25. What information survives comes almost entirely from resale listings, and several of them call the pair "RARE."
According to those listings, the GSS818 was rated at 50 watts. It had RCA inputs for hooking into a stereo system and a 3.5mm auxiliary input, with a simple plug-and-play setup. That's about all that's confirmed. No production years, dimensions, weight, driver sizes or frequency response figures have surfaced. The $69.99 - $149.00 prices attached to it are current resale asking prices, not original retail.
Anyone with a pair who can fill in the gaps - cabinet construction, driver complement, crossover details, or what they sound like - can send the details to the archive.
