Current Garrard 401 prices
Hello all
I've been toying with the idea of getting a 2nd 401. It's a long story so I won't bore you with the details but I already have a spare 401 plinth, tonearm, cart, SUT, phono pre; basically everything except the tt itself.
So, been looking in all the usual places and it appears unfettled 401s have rocketed in price compared to what I paid around 10 years ago. Of course, I get it to an extent, but still, it's quite a shock for someone such as myself who hasn't been paying attention for several years.
I guess what I would like to ask, given the current climate, what can one expect to get in terms of condition for around £500? Or am I being ridiculous even thinking I can pick up a 401 these days for that kind of money?
Thanks in advance for any insight.
