sail1624705977 Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 Any good person to go to locally for restoring Garrard 401?
Jagdpanzer Posted April 7, 2020 Posted April 7, 2020 None locally has the expertise to do full refurbishment. You need send to UK. It is not expensive.
sail1624705977 Posted April 7, 2020 Author Posted April 7, 2020 Thanks, I have one on its way from UK :)

Jagdpanzer Posted April 7, 2020 Posted April 7, 2020 I just received my 301 from UK too and am now looking for a plinth. Thanks, I have one on its way from UK :)

sail1624705977 Posted April 9, 2020 Author Posted April 9, 2020 Got it thanks, good to know people so passionate about their hobby, cheers!
Joseph Lazaroo Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 Any good person to go to locally for restoring Garrard 401? Yes! There are but locals not willing to pay for restoration. So best send it overseas for restoration. I basically restore Thorens TD124 Mk II.

theaudience Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 Nice. I'm also keen to get a 301 from UK Audio grail. Where do you get your plinth from? Looking forward to your comments after set up! Mine arrived from UK.. Cannot wait to get it done with the new plinth Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk

I got my plinth from Layer of Beauty, UK. The waiting time is about 5 weeks. He is renowned for TT plinth at reasonable price Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk
theaudience Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 wow, this is very good looking plinth. Exactly what I have in mind. Don't mind I ask how much is it and what arm are you going to fit in? And are you going to plinth it yourself? thx. I got my plinth from Layer of Beauty, UK. The waiting time is about 5 weeks.

Jagdpanzer Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 I have not decided on the arm yet. If you can afford to buy from Audiograil, then the plinth is not expensive. Go to the website and ask Russell for a quote. Cheapest finishing is £350 plus. It beats getting a 301 direct from SME for a ridiculous USD 24k!!

sail1624705977 Posted July 14, 2020 Author Posted July 14, 2020 Congrats bro, it looks stunning hope more Garrard user will join in to share resources. For those DIYers, It took me a while to locate a workshop owner who is able to help me to fabricate bespoke parts out of stainless steel/wood using CNC and milling machine. Best of all he is careful handling the gear I passed it to him did an excellent job and his charges is VERY reasonable. I have no commercial interest in this nor is related to the owner just like to share my find with XP members. His contact is :96925161/Tan Yew Chee, his workshop is in Ubi Road.

Jagdpanzer Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 You've got a good tonearm Fidelity Research which is now a collector's item. Consider upgrading to the Kokomobearing Mk3 and do all the installation in one go.
