Garrard 401 service & tweaking my new project.

Ok, so I need a 60hz pulley and a 60hz platter. Ok. Very helpful again~

A new 60hz pulley and a 50 hz strobe will work fine. You do not need a new platter. Loricraft used to sell a 50hz strobe, I think they still do.

Word! That's what I'm talking about mangos! Thanks the more ~

Hello Phduncason, I did not mean to imply you need a new platter. The 50 Hz platter works fine, the strobe function just doesn't work, due to the frequency mismatch.

Some with money to spend, and are perfectionists, will seek out a 60 Hz platter, just so everything is just so. I can't afford to be one of those people, and use an inexpensive KeyStrobe speed checking system which works well for me.

To each his own.

Regards,
Dan

No worries islandman. I did not take it that way ~ I just know for me, that I like things to be functional ~

I just got a chance to open and look at the 401. It is super clean (except for dust) ~ even the break pad is still close to off white. Only noticed that one of the motor springs is a bit stretched ~ looks like I only need to clean and oil this!!

Any recommendations for spindle & motor oil?
