Garrards in Bastin plinths will incur an extra £100, because of the extra work involved.
There will be a £100 consultation fee for turntables sent in for estimate. This is because of time involved to strip motor and main bearing and re-lubrication/re-assembly. This will not be charged if further work is carried out.

Here is a Thorens TD150 main bearing. Notice the marks to the shaft. This will need polishing to remove and will reduce rumble in the main bearing.
Our Own Garrard 401 undergoing a service
Motor lubed, main bearing stripped and inspected/ lubed. Idler wheel inspected/ lubed. Chassis could do with a re-paint but that will have to wait as this Garrard never stops playing records!
Garrard 301 Oil bearing
This has undergone a complete strip and service, plus a partial restoration. Cadmium linkages have been re plated in zinc.
Kuzma Airline Tonearm
I fitted a din socket, new cartridge tags, plus made a balanced Tempest arm cable.
Tonearm Adjustments and Re-wiring
We can upgrade the original wiring with pure silver litz wire. All re-wires include good quality cartridge tags that will fit even Supex cartridge pins, plus we only use premium quality solder and all re-wires include tonearm bearing strip and re-calibration where necessary.
Cartridge Setup
We can setup your turntable for you, ensuring the cartridge is correctly aligned and tracking weight / bias optimally set. Near enough is no where near good enough when it comes to cartridge setup. This is where most turntables fall short, get it right and even modest cartridges will sound wonderful. For customers willing to visit us we can help you to set up a cartridge with a hands on approach, showing you how to realize your decks true potential.
Payments can be made via Paypal, cheque, or bank transfer. Please email us if you require any of the above services.
