You probably mean Garrard. They were a British maker of turntables. They started making turntables after World War I. The original company is out of business.
The vast majority of their products were fairly ordinary but quite serviceable.
A 40 year old unit is likely in need of service, if only from a lubrication and rubber parts replacement standpoint. Chances are also good the cartridge could use replacing.
Whether this is worth it is up to you. If you are not a vinyl enthusiast but would like to retain the ability to records, it might be worth keeping. If you are a serious vinyl audiophile, you'll want something much better.
