And it is a fabrication , why would Garrard make such a display ? It has no purpose `. The giveaway is the winding handle , NOT GARRARD under any circumstances so basically it is FAKED !

Looking at it again, the handle is out of its original place so could have been replaced. The shape on the velvet in the background does look more Garrard like. All the parts are immaculate, there is no sign of wear,scratching or old grease on any of them so it must have been done from a new motor. Also, the way the velvet backing has faded suggests it was done a long time ago . For me , it is too soon to dismiss as a fake just because I've never seen one before - the jury is still out as far as I'm concerned!

I think the handle has just slipped down from its original position, and the wire that attaches it was originally at the bend closest to the wooden knob.
