An addition to the Garrard model variations maybe? Towards the end of the production run of the Pye "Achoic" Model 1005 Stereophonic record player (c.1963) they installed a version of the Garrard AT6 with a special arm for the "Butterfly" stereo-cartridge. There was a Butterfly legend at the pivot end of the tone arm. I cannot quite remember if this ran alongside the modified BSR UA15 version. It would certanly have needed a different cut out. I suspect there was a short production run as I have only ever seen one. Alternatively, it may have followed the UA15 in 1964 when BSR introduced the UA25 unit, and Pye decided on a better quality deck. Edward
