Could someone with a Garrard 401 Measure for me...

... the distance from the top of the chassis to the top of the platter? I need to figure out if my arm needs a raised or a chassis-level armboard.

You have time for this kind of post? Did you not take a moment to think that maybe the plinth is being built and I don't actually the 401 with me?

In other words the arm is mounted at the same level as the bottom of the 401 chassis.
