Garrard SL-95B

The Garrard SL-95B was the company's top-of-the-line automatic turntable around 1971. It was a three-speed model with an integrated tone arm. High Fidelity (January 1971, p.39) listed it at $129.50, with the optional base and dust cover adding $6.50 each. Dimensions were 16¾ by 14¼ by 8 inches including base and cover. Clearance above the mounting board was 4¾ inches to clear the spindle and 7 inches to change it, and it needed 3 inches below the board.

Little else is known beyond a period system advertisement. A "Super System" package in HiFI-Stereo (August 1971, p.71) paired the SL-95B with a Heathkit AR-29 receiver, two Heathkit/Acoustic Research AS-103 speakers, and a Shure M-91E cartridge. The whole bundle was priced at $807.74. Garrard's own advertising in High Fidelity (April 1971, p.35) called it "an ultimate achievement in Automatic Turntables" at its price point.

Detailed service information and production run specifics for the SL-95B are not well documented in surviving literature.
