Mat-with-one-t Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) Wow that’s a lovely looking example! Unfortunately Duc is no longer with us, so I’d too love to know if anyone out there in Melbourne-land comes close! Edited March 17, 2019 by Mat-with-one-t

Hope the Garrard is brought up to your expectations - the 301 always looks nice. 1
aussievintage Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 What needs doing? The occasional re-lubing of the main bearing and idler etc isn't all that hard to do yourself, if you are inclined.

OLLY Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 I was also looking to have my grease bearing Garrard 301 completely stripped down and serviced. Untouched since 1955 so I am sure it could do with some TLC. Unfortunately I am in Perth and it's so much harder to track someone down. 1

The Turntable Doctor should be ideal for this: service AT ultrasystems.net
OLLY Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 I have been in touch with the Turntable Doctor, seems pretty reasonable with his prices on labour costs. The unknown is the parts cost as the parts are about 65 years old. I will continue with my Commonwealth Electronics 12D/3 for the time being and give a service some thought.

Hi, I had a Garrard 401 serviced by The Turntable Doctor, great service and at a reasonable cost.
