Additional Information
Garrard's first tape deck, a novel magazine-cartridge-based mechanism (pre-dating the Philips compact cassette by several years) that also accepted standard 4-inch reels. The cartridge held two conventional 4-inch spools and simply dropped into place, controls limited to a Record/Off/Playback switch and a fast-wind switch.
