Wondering about Garrardists take on this;
And if anyone can throw any more light on it?
It looks like a mechanically brand new 301 built using a reconditioned motor. The top plate is machined from a solid piece of aluminium, the linkages, spindle, bearing and (oversize) platter are all new. £3000 which considering the work involved would appear pretty reasonable. There is a more expensive brass version with an even heavier platter. I'd be very interested to hear one - its a pretty expensive option compared to a used 401 and a full service.
I think it is connected somehow to the SMD company which make a variety of Garrard Plinths. Quite expensive I think £1700 for slate; Skeleton with damping on the posts.
