Garrard Z-2000B (1975)
Little is documented about the Garrard Z-2000B beyond a run of period advertisements from late 1975. The ads ran in Audio (December 1975, p.18), HiFI-Stereo, and High-Fidelity. They pitched it as a single-play turntable that could also handle multiple records automatically. The auto mechanism was fully disengaged during actual play, so it wouldn't compromise performance. The ads also said it answered "four questions you must ask about any turntable." The first was whether it performed as well as any single-play deck. The Z-2000B's claimed answer was yes, because at heart it was a single-play design that simply added stacking convenience.
The known price was $199.95. The surviving ad copy gives no other specifications - no weight, speeds, wow/flutter or tonearm details. No service literature or independent reviews from the period have surfaced in this archive.
