Lovely video, my father would have loved watching this. My parents had the Garrard 301 and we found it recently after moving from our family home. It was and still is in dire condition and not in working order. We kept it in case anyone would want it for parts as we couldn’t bear to throw it in the skip. They also had Quad speakers the size of my flat! I’m posting here in case the wonderful world of the internet would be interested. Spread the word if anyone would like more information it’s in storage in London gathering more dust, as are the speakers!.

Did you manage to find a home for these?

@bkatbamna Год назад

Great work. Honestly, I just came for the accent.

@Stelios.Posantzis Год назад

Very useful video on taking apart and restoring this old deck - which seems to be in quite decent condition by the way. It is always worth watching other peoples' efforts before attempting it oneself, especially if the item to be restored is in a good condition to begin with: there is always a risk that the "restoration" imparts a higher degree of damage than leaving in the unrestored condition would. This often correlates positively with the restorer's impatience and overwhelming desire to see the fruit of their labour appear sooner than it is possible. Watching videos like this gives one the right perspective on how to go about a restoration of a complicated item.

@Stelios.Posantzis Год назад

7:50 You have left the felt gasket off. This is absolutely necessary and should be installed back as soon as possible. Replacements are easy to find and are not expensive.

@jackbarnard1781 Год назад

Wow & I mean wow!!! What a labor of love 100% lots of joy!!! And a crazy mix of vintage & modern. That's how my system is. And you got Louis Armstrong 78s. Cheers from Arizona USA 🇺🇸

@eltoncrim3699 6 лет назад

Great record choice. I just love playing records and listening to great music! Thanks for sharing that.

@jensbondarenko9195 Год назад

Great work. And great timing two times: 21:55 speeding the drive up exactly as a motorcar drives by and earlier the starting motor as you showed the drive's motor.

@mapp4751 8 лет назад

HI, i always appreciate people who can work with their hands,i do not possess that skill.great job and the sound of the Louis is fantastic!

@jeb419 11 месяцев назад

Wow that 78 sounds wonderful!

@Stelios.Posantzis Год назад

22:32 Very nice plinth - this is a very good idea. I also did no know about those cone rubber feet coming in different grades. I always thought thy were solid hard rubber or plastic - very useful to know this.

@darrenjones3784 5 лет назад

This is the best video on RU-vid regarding restoration. I've watched it a few times.

@shannabint3399 6 лет назад

Wow, gorgeous. Only thing I would have done different is the finish on the wood. I would have used an oil based one. The wood is way too beautiful to have a gloss finish. Good job dear sir, it sounds increddible.

@z90012 4 года назад

Lovely old classic turntable

@rubenforlagetrhodos1987 4 года назад

you should really use the Denon 103 on the 12 " arm - would improve sound/tracking a lot - whilst you 78 should sound much different migrating to the 9" arm - Really Great video on restoring Great Job thanks

@stephen579 2 года назад

Fantastic job, I have just purchased a 401 and will be doing to same to it, Thank you for showing this. PS I love the gloss finish.

@joemartin6439 3 года назад

What a dream JOB. You are so smart I would continue to dream of that table here in Toronto. My Dual 1229 table of great condition with. Grace Ruby cantilever and a nude CL stylus and a Audreal LP 2

@g0fvt 3 года назад

Great to see these getting some TLC still, I realise the video is old now, of course the motor is drastically less than 1/4 hp. Tempted to look for a 401, arguably better but less sought after.

@roder644 9 лет назад

Great work. Provides the means to enjoy our artistic geniuses of the past.

@Manu_Nayar 3 года назад

Lp sounds superb with 9” armGood. 10” 78 rpm records works well with 9” Tonearm I’m using it in that way on my a Transrotor See my set up if you can.

@teddytejero 2 года назад

I was given one. It was build into a cabinet and didn't turn for 25 years. Replaced al lot of parts (springs , idler wheel, bearings , ...) Found a plinth for it and a 12" tonearm. Funny, but I only have a few records. More of a digital guy am I 😃 Maybe swap it for a digital amp.

@eltoncrim3699 6 лет назад

I suggest you mount 78rpm MONO Cart on SME 9" and use SEM 12" for Stereo cart , Try it out if you can -Thanks Manu

@autisticrebel1253 6 лет назад

That is a great sounding turntable.

@devinmoodley4061 8 лет назад

Do exercise caution when handling the linkages. They are cadmium plated and cadmium is toxic. At minimum, use gloves and a dust mask. Many restorers recommend sandblasting the linkages to remove the cadmium. Great video!

@vintageaudioworkshop 8 лет назад

+Devin Moodley good reminder, not for the kitchen table when servicing! now the wives have a good reason to moan.

@choboutube 4 года назад

Great video. I hope you are enjoying the 301 in good health. I'm contemplating something similar (made of course, I'm no good with technical skills), even though I'm a bit of a skeptic/ cynic - all this about special alloys etc. If you can appreciate the difference good for you, but it'd be all wasted on me. Law of diminishing returns etc, but the curve is different for everyone. Cheers.

@barrythompson6451 3 года назад

@carmenandthedevil2804 5 лет назад

@episodesglow 10 лет назад

Superb work, thanks for sharing.

@Stelios.Posantzis Год назад

Also gotta ask: a) What model is the Technics? b) How does it compare to the Tecnnics knock-off by Audio Technica? Does the Audio Technica deck lag behind? How come you bought it? c) Are you planning to get an SL-1200 or, better, an SP-10?

@TheBudgie29 6 лет назад

HI. What happened here???. 34:16 Did You step on a Bulb?. Did one Blow out?. Did You step on glass?. Knock something made of glass over??. Nice Video Great Restoration of a Vintage TT.

@neilberkeley5469 8 лет назад

Unbelievable young man :) I've been trying to find a 301 for a long time at a fair price. Thank you for sharing. Can you estimate the cost from start to finish?

@yubertuber1 6 лет назад

Looks amazing! Great job! Thumbs up.

@Stelios.Posantzis Год назад

7:57 I am not sure the sewing machine oil you have used is the appropriate type for this application. If it is not, it may lead to spindle bearing damage in the long term. Correct oil for Garrard spindles is available and while not exactly cheap, only a small amount is needed for the long term keep of the deck so it is a worthwhile small investment.

@jamilmohammed7817 11 месяцев назад

Very interesting and informative video I have a 301 I want to repair I will like to know how to get the new rubber and gomet rubber could you please send me the link.thank you.

@Stelios.Posantzis Год назад

I just gotta ask: a) Why the short arm on the LPs and the long one for 78s? b) What is the 78 rpm cartridge you use? I could not understand, it sounded like you said "Grado"? Do they make 78 rpm cartridges? c) Is the dbx processor a de-noiser/de-clicker? If so, does it affect the sound negatively?

@vjc4 9 лет назад

Thanks so much can you tell me where by chance you got your plinth? Im also looking for a full size template for your exact setup me 12 and 9" on a 301 as i would love to try and build if I can't afford it right away. Thanks and just love your 78 videos!

@Stelios.Posantzis Год назад

9:55 I would careful with that cadmium plating which seems to be flaking off. I would not touch that toxic stuff with bare hands and I would ensure to clean up the bench carefully after working on them. Perhaps it is worth investigating whether some containment solution exists for the corroded cadmium that can be applied without necessitating stripping the plating off and that would possibly also protect the rest of the plating from corrosion. I know, protecting solution for the plating sounds totally ironic but it is mitigating the risk posed by the highly toxicity of this metal's oxide that makes it worth checking in my opinion.

@Manu_Nayar 3 года назад

Good sound

@MrGramophone 9 лет назад

What a marvellous, marvellous job you have done. Congratulations! One thing tho', why did you go to all the trouble to obtain old (and faulty) SME arms when SME sell much improved, brand new Series II arms.

Price I assume

@sheepbaba 10 лет назад

Cool. Nice one Larry. Looks beautifull on completion. Them corner speakers look serious. Are they Tannoy? I imagine they sound big. I'm in the throws of desgning a 401 plinth. Might have to get a fresh idler. Got a fresh one for a Yanky Russco table and it grips so much better than the old one. Lorricraft told me the old ones sound better but my feeling is grip more important.

@Jimmermgb 5 лет назад

I'd like to have seen you cleaning the silver speed markers on the side of the TT after spraying it. I have to do the same job on my 401 but not sure how to tackle this step. I imagine having the TT spinning on another rig might help... nice job all together, had you any way of measuring the rumble before and after the refurb?

@Stelios.Posantzis Год назад

12:31 Wise choice! There is nothing wrong with the original finish and this way it retains all its charm and the tell-tale signs of its age. If you had refinished it , it would have lost all of its character and the chance of getting the colour and painting wrong would have been high. So why bother?

Brilliant video, thanks for posting it. Will the motor be the same on my 401 and can I service it the same way?

@LumenateTV 7 лет назад

I've read the motor on the 401 is better and also that the best TT in audiophile minds is a 301 with the 401 motor.

@brit1066 6 лет назад

It’s pronounced Jarrard NOT Garrard.

@brit1066 6 лет назад

bcdhifi Oh yes IT IS, I bought my first “J”arrard 301 in 1966 in England direct from “J”arrard at a HIFI show in Birmingham. All “J”arrard people on the “J”arrard stand pronounced it “J”arrard. Please state YOUR evidence to the contrary. Oh I later bought a 401 in 1969 before I came to the USA, it was still pronounced “J”arrard. Also there is a very old and revered Jeweller in London called “J”arrard and spelled Garrard

@brit1066 6 лет назад

bcdhifi I happen to be ENGLISH. WHERE DO YOU COME FROM? I can ASSURE YOU IT IS PRONOUNCED WITH A SOFT G as in the letter J.. Did you READ all of what I said? When I purchased the 301 I purchased it FROM THE MANUFACTURER AT A HIFI SHOW sponsored by a very well known retailer of HIFI equipment in Birmingham UK, the employees of GARRARD themselves pronounced the name wit a SOFT G. But YOU KNOW BETTER!

@brit1066 6 лет назад

bcdhifi Please Tell me where you got that information from. As a LIFELONG NATIVE SPEAKER OF ENGLISH I have learned that for every rule there are many exceptions, the name GARRARD is one of them. I will repeat my story, in 1966 I purchased a GARRARD 301 turntable DIRECTLY from the company that MADE THEM. It was at a HIFI show in Birmingham England, where I lived. The employees of the company PRONOUNCED THE NAME OF THEIR COMPANY IN THE SAME WAY IT WAS PRONOUNCED ALL OVER THE WORLD AS “J”arrard. The BBC, you may have heard of the, used 301s in their studios both Radio and TV, there were INNUMERABLE times that that fact was mentioned in broadcasts and again the name was pronounced as “J”arrard. But YOU KNOW BETTER. NEVER ONCE DID I EVER HEAR THE HARD G SOUND USED. EVEN EMPLOYEES WHO WORKED FOR THE COMPANY PRONOUNCED IT AS “J”arrard. So please, please state your reasoning for disagreeing, other than just sheer cussedness.

@brit1066 6 лет назад

Yes, but they are PRONOUNCED THE SAME.

@carmenandthedevil2804 5 лет назад

BTW. Science is not truth. Its a man made lie until the next level of knowledge is reached. Also, G sounds like J when followed by E, I or Y.
