Garrard AT-6 MKII Record Changer playing Julie London.

This as a Garrard AT-6 record changer circa 1963. It is running the stock Pickering U-38 cartridge. (With new stylus, of course). The LP is a mono pressing of Julie London's "Julie is Her Name" featuring Barney Kessel on guitar and Ray Leatherwood on Bass. Enjoy! (or don't).
(BTW, all the "surface noise" in this video was from the cheap little point-and-shoot camera I used)

Don't know, jenschin. My U-38 came on the changer. I did replace the stylus, so i can tell you those are available. The obvious thing would be to try eBay. You might even be able to find one mounted on a changer cheap enough. The AT-6 in this video was less than $30 delivered not too long ago. I can say it's a really enjoyable cartridge for this type of "fun" listening. Very pleasant without inner groove distortion. Kind of lets the critical mind rest a while and just enjoy some music.

The speakers with the small footprint and excellent sound, what are they?

You picked a winner turntable, out of the gazillion, how did you know to choose that one? Please let us know the cartridge you're using/prefer GREAT JOB

Never heard of Julie London, thank you for sharing. Class.

Thanks for the kind words. The Speakers are B&W 683's.

I wanted an old changer for fun and to play some of the old jazz LPs that are too beat up for my "good" turntable.

I picked the Garrard AT-6 after seeing so many references to it being a "bullet proof" record changer-or one that's "built like a tank". I also only wanted to spend about $40, which is all you need to get one of these.

The cartridge is the original Pickering U-38 with a new replacement stylus.

It's truly a fun rig!

I actually removed my Elac Studio-10 from my console and installed my NOS Garrard 40 mkII. It is the cousin of the AT6 with cue control. Like you, I like the warm sound of the U-38, but I have an Empire 880p, Shure N7D, and a GE VR-2, all in different headshells. The removal is so quick. I have a lot of changers, but the AT6 and Auto Slim are my favorite. Your system is quite impressive. Good to see other U-38/Jazz fans out there.

Got to love Julie London. I have an antique Fisher console with a Garrard AT6. Any idea where I can buy a new pickering U38 cartridge for it, I'm having trouble finding one

I have this same changer...it was inside a vintage ent. I bought off of ebay. What's funny is that I also have the same Julie London album. Wish the AT-6 was worth something though! Will it ever become a collectors item do you think?

How come these old at6 do not go for too much compared to the mark 1?
