Garrard RC-30 or RC-50. Both are very hard to find today. They had problems with expansion of pot metal early on and some that survived until the early 1950s were replaced with three speed changers. The easier to find post war Garrard RC-60 looks almost identical to the RC-50 and has far less problems with pot metal distortion.
