Default Re: Garrard record player deck identification.

Photos of some of the mechanical workings of the Unimech models.

1. Underside of a Unimech record changer, clearly showing the plastic operating levers and how they connect to the metal levers extending from the Unimech subchassis. The ends of the metal levers operate in an arc, while the "handle" ends of the plastic levers slide in slots in the chassis. Thus the fit of the plastic levers must necessarily be sloppy, so the plastic levers can pivot slightly as they operate!

2. The plastic levers, disassembled. The U-shaped one engages two mechanisms, for speed change and record size selection.

3. The Unimech subchassis, with its main cam and most levers removed.

4. Same, showing the tonearm base and cueing-antiskate assemblies mounted to the subchassis.
