[QUOTE="Waterhond, post: 452811, member: 1200"] Be careful though - the really old Garrards like yours and mine are great only for old mono records (mostly) but you have to have either a diamond needle or a steady supply of the more commonly available sapphire needles to safeguard your old black disks. They track quite heavily and tend to wear out their needles and your records more quickly! Your Pioneer is the best of the lot potentially for modern records - when it has been serviced and set up correctly. The later Garrards like the models 301 and 401 are the really valuable ones and sell for many thousands when in good condition. They can match some of the best modern high price turntables in playback quality, so keep your eyes out for those. :thumbs: That's my 401 in my avatar pic - I paid R250 for it at a junk shop that failed to realise what it was worth. :whistler: [/QUOTE]
