Garrard 301 [Template]

Garrard 301 schedule 1 turntable. This 301 is in excellent condition mechanically and cosmetically. It does have a dust bug mark above the on/off lever on the left side (see pictures ) which is typical for most 301s'. I sent this 301 to Loricraft in 2012 for a complete
servicing, a $500. Service, not to mention the shipping from Florida to the Uk! Loricraft designed a special shipping box for the 301 and will be used in this sale. As part of the Loricraft service they convert all grease bearing to an oil bearing unit. So the unit runs smooth and quiet and oiling the spindle can be done from the top of the unit by removing the platter. The original chassis paint was in great shape so I did not need a new paint job. It has a newer rubber idler wheel from Perfect Sound, a Garrard parts specialist in the UK.
This turntable has been well cared for in a smoke free, child free environment. The plinth I made myself from laminating baltic birch and hot hide glue. It weights 25lbs and will need to be shipped separately. I used a Triplanar7 with this setup as you can see from the existing holes which go through the entire thickness of the plinth. The measures 18.75 x 18.75 x 3.5". Buying a Loricraft serviced unit is much safer than taking a chance on EBay.
Thank you for looking.
