| I bought this at a garage sale, thinking I could find a new needle online, as it's old. Turns out I can't find so much as a photo or mention of this particular machine! It's a GE, and it's called 'The Decorator' with a Garrand Manual Auto turntable. Besides some numbers on the back, these are the only labels. The people I bought it from didn't know anything about it, I don't even know how old it is! I thought 70's, maybe 50's at the earliest, but who knows. Anyone know of such a machine? My last resort will have to be contacting GE! I really want to be able to use this! |

| I Googled it & included needle in it-Garrard Manual Auto Turntable-needle & 1st thing was co. that has needles for all models & makes from 1930's on. I think my 1960's stereo in LR has 1 as the original needed replacing, I just bought an extra diamond tipped when it was new as hard to find things later. Anyway they also have manuals & I think you can get some free online but not sure. Good Luck! |

| "Garrard Manual Auto Turntable-needle" just like that. Are you spelling it right? It's Garrard! no "n" in it!! |
