Wanted Garrard 401/Plinth/Tonearm

[pidge22]

Am looking for a Garrard 401/plinth & tonearm (preferably sme)
Ideally would like to buy as a full package
Preferably fully serviced & in excellent condition

Can collect in the north

Isn't there a nice one for £1500 or so on ebay at the moment?

We're generous souls here, but even we aren't a charity you know :lol:

I have seen that does look nice but a bit above my budget I am afraid..

[DSJR]

Have a look at Russ Collinson - Layers of beauty - for ideas and costs of a bespoke plinth - not as much as you'd think I believe and a fraction of the price of a Bastin one (a favourite of mine). 401's in good order don't usually have to cost many hundreds more than £500 do they? and there's a nicely priced SME Series 2 "Unimproved" detachable arm on here right now if you jump quick enough :)

Good luck, and welcome :)

PLEASE grab this arm if you want a vintage SME to use with a Garrard and possibly a wide range of cartridges. I have NO contact with the seller at all by the way..

I have a fixed head 3009 awaiting one part to make it work (exit cable plug) and I'd like to give it some use before passing it on, if ever...

[pidge22]

Have decided to hold off looking for the moment so I can save up for one of Audiograil's 401,s

[DSJR]

I'd still buy that SME.......

They're beautiful but very expensive. I have a nw analogue serviced and plinthed 401 that you're welcome to see and hear. My advice; buy a motor unit, send to Dom for the works and ask for a price for the works and a slate plinth. You wouldn't regret that purchase, I know!

I have a 401 in a wood plinth if you're interested. No arm though.
