Additional information

The Garrard Zero 100C is a two-speed automatic record changer with an idler wheel drive. It can play a sequence of up to six records automatically.Here's a more detailed breakdown of its technical aspects:

  • Tonearm: Features a tangential tracking pick-up arm3. The tonearm design minimizes tracking error. It also includes damped cueing action and a magnetic anti-skating system1. Some found the tonearm and its plastic mounting case to be of questionable quality.

  • Motor: Incorporates a synchronous motor and a 4-pole induction motor for starting.

  • Speed Control: Includes fine speed control and a pitch control that allows adjustment of plus or minus 3%13. A built-in stroboscopic checking system aids in setting the record speed.

  • Speeds: Operates at 33 and 45 rpm.

  • Wow and Flutter: Wow is better than 0.10% RMS, and flutter is better than 0.05% RMS.

  • Rumble: Negligible1. The rumble is rated at -63dB.

  • Power: Operates on alternating current (AC) at 110/125 or 220/240 volts, depending on the model.

  • Dimensions: 375 x 170 x 335 mm (14.8 x 6.7 x 13.2 inches).

  • Weight: 5.2 kg (11 lb 7.3 oz).

The Zero 100C also features a built-in automatic record counter in the pickup arm to indicate stylus playing time
