Default Re: Garrard record player deck identification.

The AT60, as its name suggests, is an upgrade on the AT6. Its large outer platter was heavier, cast of nonferrous alloy and machined. The tonearm was the same as that on the AT6, fully counterweight-adjusted and dynamically balanced, with the addition of an antiskating compensator operated by a pivoting weight bearing upon a rod projecting from the tonearm housing. Its auto trip mechanism was improved with a low-friction Delrin® insert for the auto trip slide. It had a new platter mat with a small trim ring. The AT60 also had a revised headshell, cut-away in profile and identified as "M7." It was regarded as a "best buy" in the mid-level hi-fi range, and was a very popular seller. Later in the UK, there was an AT60 Mk II.
