Custom cast for Decca. It's basically a Garrard 10b but built into a custom casting. Garrard would bend over backwards to satisfy their clients.

• "to fit the motor in the space between the two outer arms of the horn, while keeping the turntable spindle central, involves mounting it an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the side of the case."
• The winding bearing is repositioned in the new casting so the winder comes out at the front of the Decca 130
