Item Description
++MODEL 401 in good condition is now in stock. The wood enclosure is also beautiful with few scratches. You may have your own color preferences, but if it fits your room or your own store, we recommend it. Recently we have been receiving more inquiries about GARRARD turntables. Please consider this in conjunction with our other inventory. I personally recommend this one.

Released in Britain in 1965 as a follow-up to the now-legendary Garrard 301, the Garrard 401 is an idler drive turntable that remains highly sought-after by audiophiles and collectors alike. The turntable features a large motor that drives an idler, This mechanism is known for its reliability and is still praised by turntable fans around the world. The base is die-cast aluminum, offering a highly robust feel. By its high quality of construction and design, the 401 provides excellent performance, with low wow and flutter and low rumble. Many people say that a Garrard 401 is made superb by a great plinth. This particular unit is set in a beautiful Sunwood plinth. Overall, the whole thing is stunning. This is a legendary vintage turntable, and one in excellent condition is a rare find.

The SME 3009 tonearm is a highly regarded design known for its accurate tracking and excellent sound quality.  The headshells are interchangeable and cartridges can be easily replaced. This tonearm makes a great match for the GARRARD 401. This is a legendary vintage turntable, and one in Very Good Condition is a rare find.

This turntable is in very good condition, with some feeling of use overall (see photos), including some scratches and scuffs on the surface (Please see the pictures). The unit has been thoroughly checked and tested by our professional technician. This turntable does not have a dust cover and hinges.
