#GARRARD ZERO 100 REVIEW MANUAL#
The manual specifications remained the same throughout. There were two schedules of the Garrard 301. The strobe-rim platter was around a £2 extra-cost option. The 301 was usually sold without a plinth, tonearm or cartridge. Production of the 301 started in 1953 it hit the market in 1954. The platter was balanced and freely spun on a high precision bearing. The chassis and platter were made from diecast aluminium and weighed 16 pounds - 6 pounds of which was the platter. It featured a 4 pole Garrard Induction motor driving an idle wheel which drove the platter from inside its rim. It was robust, minimalist and beautifully built. The Garrard 301 was the first transcription turntable that played at 33 ⅓, 45 and 78 rpm speeds. Audio buffs mock the idle wheel mechanism, it’s so much noisier compared to the belt drive and even some very high-end direct drive turntables, but to fans, that is what gives the 301 it's unique sound and character. Its successor the Garrard 401 is by all accounts sonically superior but the classic design of the 301 outshines the 401. The iconic Garrard 301 transcription turntable is revered the world over.
