My first “serious” turntable in the early 1970’s was a Garrard SL-95B. I found out decades later that my mother’s English Army friend worked at Garrard in Swindon, Wiltshire. I also learned how to pronounce “Garrard” properly!
Your bearings are excellent! I purchased one for the Type A and it worked absolutely flawless. You may not believe it but it also solved a sluggish cycling even after the mech was otherwise cleaned and rebuilt. In short, the unit is now quiet and cycles like new. Thank you.
Those changers are so much trouble to service. The SL-95 has the same basic mechanism. I recently bought a Lab 80, I expect that to be just as difficult. I also just got an SL-65. That will be easy.
