A quick post for anyoneneeding work done on a Garrard. I found an old letter from Martin Bastin, called him, and discovered that he is still doing a limited range of work on Garrards. He has sorted my problem. He is happy for people to contact him, on 01584 823446

ear all
I would be grateful for help with a 401 problem. The brake disc is scraping, not against the brake magnet I think, but against the motor housing. Is there a way to adddress this without removing the motor?
Thanks
Adrian
ps any idea of a reasonably priced 401 service company in UK?

Hi Island Pink thanks very much for that. In fact, further digging found some old threads on the oil to use, so I will re-read those. In the meantime it seems pretty well lubricated for now. On the other issues I re-installed the bearing housing nice and tight, by going at it from above and below, a...

Hello all I have been servicing my 401 and have a few queries: 1. what oil to use for the spindle lubricant. I have a Martin Bastin thrust pad at the base of the spindle 2, when I replace the heavy platter the spindle does not initially go down to the bottom of the housing. I searched for answers on...

Hi Philip
excellent - thanks. I saw something like that but wanted to check it did the job ok.
Hope all is well with you

Hello all long time no hear (mea culpa - been suffering without music with builders in the house for many months). I have a query as I try to use a Blu-ray player as digital source. It only has HDMI out and my IncaTech Claymore amp (new version) only has phono in. Is there a recommended cable or ada...

I think I've got the message now! Thanks

Adrian

Thanks Paul and Phil
It is 6w I think. Enough for Colin's Edingdales, which I now have I reckon. Could be ok with some Kiwames etc

Dear all recently moved and now wondering about fiddling with a new amp. Wondered if anyone has an opinion on this, particularly the valve line-up: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HiFi-Valve-Tube-Amplifier-MM-Phono-Turntable-Power-Amp-Class-A-Stereo-Audio-Amp/274385197960?hash=item3fe2a1db88:g:FJkAAOSww8...

Cheers Cressy. I was thinking of that range

Dear all I am fortunate to have completed a house move on Fri 20 March, in London. I am less fortunate in having had the Expert Stylus Co (ESC) sapphire cantilever and fancy stylus snapped off in the move (a combination of not quite careful enough packing and very careless removal company). I am wei...

Hi Ray, no problem at all.

Easier all round if I butcher the player myself. Thus, it is no longer available

Season's greetings

Hi Ant
how did you get on with your serach for headshells. I may have one or 2 if still interested
Adrian

Hi Ray, that's fine. Let me have an address and I'll get a postage price

Hi all I have a heavily modded DVD player, which I used to use to play CDs. It started playing up (tripped the circuit at switch on). Colin Wonfor (IncaTech) has looked at it and is stumped (despite rebuilding the power supply). Something is going on that is hard to locate. I bought this on the WAD ...
