The 1025, 2025, 2025TC and Model 30

These models replaced the Models 1000 and 2000 in Garrard's lower-priced lineup of Autoslim-chassis units. The 1025 and 2025 had a cast aluminium tonearm with a plastic moulding for mounting the cartridge, instead of the one-piece casting of the 1000 and 2000. The 1025 had a small 7" platter, the 2025 a large 10 1/2" platter.

The 2025TC ("T" for tubular, "C" for cueing) had the 10 1/2" platter and a low-mass tubular tonearm with plastic moulding for the cartridge mount, and a cueing device.

Like all prior Autoslim-chassis models, these could play an intermixed stack of different sized, same-speed records automatically. They were the last models built with this capability.

The standard 1025, 2025 and 2025TC all had two-pole induction motors. The 1025 was also available in a battery-powered version. Colours, mats and trim on all models could vary, as many were supplied in custom versions for radiograms and phonographs.

In the USA, the 2025 was marketed as "Model 30."
