The Garrard Factory formerly of Swindon, Wiltshire
produced thousands of the 301 and 401 turntables in their heyday
before being taken over by the Brazilian company Gradienti. Fortunately
the Garrard name is now in the safe hands of Terry O`Sullivan
who not only breathes new life into the older models but produces
the NEW 501 and 601 turntables, which are direct descendants
of the older models.
The 301 & 401 turntables can be serviced or
completely refurbished to the latest specification, which includes
many ideas used for the newer 501 & 601. We can supply power
supplies to improve speed control, new plinths either solid or
skeletal, both with isolation of the mounting board. For new
tone arms, we particularly recommend the SME range and our own
acrylic lift off covers are available to order, see appropriate
pages on our site.

in a new plinths. A new custom built 501. The PRC3 record cleaner
and 301 in a skeletal plinth.
We can also supply the new 501 and 601 turntables,
made to order to your specification. Based on the older models
but with the latest engineering techniques, which means new main
bearings, power supplies and balanced platters. Custom made plinths
and finishes available to order. 20 year warranty on mechanical
and electrical parts. Again we particularly recommend the SME
range of tone arms and our own acrylic lift off covers can be
supplied to order, see appropriate pages on our site.
The Loricraft/Garrard Professional record cleaning
machine is the perfect way to clean and maintain those valuable
records, it is amazing how much more information can be heard
when they have been cleaned by these machines. They use a much
more powerful motor than is usually associated with this type
of machine, which means more torque for cleaning. This enables
you to get deep into the groove without putting a strain on the
motor, giving it a much longer life. We also offer a record cleaning
service using the PRC3 machine.
We usually have a 301 or 401 in stock or being serviced, please enquire for more details.
