I have a 401 that is still set up 220 and has the 50hz pully, and 50hz strobe. I've changed 6-8 through the years. Easy. I sometimes swap the top if I find a deal. Been in a box for 15 years. I gave up on Garrards. I love um, but I use to work at a machine shop.. They fixed Sparta, QRK, and Russco platters.. I know I have 5 or 6 left.. I call the Garrard Killers..
They are TWICE as big, and twice the weight easy.. 9-16" tonearms.
I'm doing one out of black oak / red oak with Queen Ann Legs, very different...Matches my speakers with Queen Anns.. Close..:-)
HD, LOL 24/7 365 / forever.. Just oil and maintain. Mine are all pulls from FM radio stations.. Just rollers and there is a few tricks to get the platter REAL quiet..
750 Fairchild, I had one that was nicked... Actually my all time favorite..
I like TD124 too, I have a couple.. For a smaller footprint, I think its pretty good also..
Regards
