Garrard 301 Grease Bearing, Woodsong Plinth, Schick Tonearm, Ortofon SPU

For your consideration, my dream turntable. Garrard 301, early grease bearing/no strobe platter. Custom built plinth by Woodsong audio - stunning maple, armboards are veneered panzerholz. Very natural look. The Garrard 301 was fully restored by Woodsong. The black finish is stunning - the table is a light automotive gloss and the platter is matte. Also includes an upgraded Woodsong Eddy Brake. Also included: - Thomas Schick 12" tonearm - Ortofon SPU #1 cartridge, approx. 500 hours. This cartridge is a perfect match with Shindo phonostages - the impedance is the same as the original SPUs (the newer SPUs other than the #1 are higher impedance). - additional blank armboard (same finish as the one pictured/installed, just undrilled) As you can see from my other listings, I am listing my complete audio system for sale (personal reasons). The turntable is beautiful. This is a restored, turnkey, work of art. Chris Harban at Woodsong is a true artisan. Please see the photos. There is one minor cosmetic imperfection in the deck - a speck visible in one of the pictures. The schick arm does have some marks along the counterweight area from adjusting the counterweight. Does not include a mat or anything else - just the turntable, plinth, arm, SPU, blank armboard. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions or to make an offer. I STRONGLY prefer local pickup due to the size and weight of this equipment, but I can arrange worldwide shipping at cost (please contact me first for international shipping), shipping terms FOB my residence, Washington, D.C. No additional fee for paypal. I am willing to drive 200 miles from Washington, DC to meet halfway. Deposit required/to be negotiated if you expect me to drive.
