Re: Garrard record player deck identification.
The SP25 Mk II was introduced simultaneously with the update of the AT60 to the 60 Mk II. Its only major change was the tonearm of the 60 Mk II, with a dial-type stylus pressure adjuster instead of the pointer-on-a-scale type of the SP25 and AT60. There were minor trim differences and larger control handles.
The SP25 Mk III tonearm base housing had a more streamlined profile than that of the former SP25 models and it had the tonearm of the SL65B. The bayonet-mount headshell was replaced with the slide-in cartridge carrier, type C2 and the counterweight was more squared-off in shape. The usual minor trim changes accompanied the other changes.
