Garrard

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.

Photographs show from top to bottom refurbished Garrard 301 & 401 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.
