Re: Garrard record player deck identification.
Post #32, on Page 2, shows the SP20B and its predecessor the SP20.
The SP20 was a single-play version of the Model 50/40 Mk II but with a cheaper platter mat and, initially, a two-pole motor instead of the four-pole (in USA versions of the 50/40 Mk II). Later on the SP20 was fitted with the four-pole motor. Unfortunately the SP20 and SP20B lacked automatic single play as was featured in the contemporary SP25 Mk II/III. This limited its usefulness. It was a mystery to me at the time as to why, unless American importer British Industries Corp. thought a full-auto single player would be too much competition for the record changers.
You MIGHT be able to restore proper operation of the SL95B with the large record spindle, by adjusting the screw indicated with the RED arrow on the photo of the bottom side of an SL-chassis.
