Steve, Gerrard was (I can't imagine they're still around) an English turntable company. They were pretty big in the 50's and early 60's. They basically made the best LP changer around - which was, I suppose, fine when components were so bad that it mattered not how scratched your records were, or how much wow and flutter your TT produced (their changers used an idler wheel drive, IIRC). Once everyone realized that single play manual tables sounded better, and that the trade-off for the "convience" of being able to stack 3 or 4 records at a time was horrible sound and quickly wearing records, they pretty much went the way of the (choose your metaphore). Last Gerrard I saw was a changer on a credenza all-in-one unit at my late grandmother's place. Kinda sad... cheers, frank ===== "The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds.
