Edward, I recently acquired one of the Garrard "butterfly" decks, it came as a chassis only and with an AT5 instruction flyer. I believe that AT5 was the Garrard description for these decks, but stand to be corrected. It's later than the AT6 as it has an AT60 centre spindle, with the larger hole centre bearing. Styling-wise it's actually closer to a 2000/3000, with a pressed steel turntable and controls, but with a four-pole motor. So it may well have been introduced towards the end of the run.
