Could someone with a Garrard 401 Measure for me...


... the distance from the top of the chassis to the top of the platter? I need to figure out if my arm needs a raised or a chassis-level armboard.

If you have a Garrard 401 why not do it yourself?

Really? You have time for this kind of post?

 

Did you not take a moment to think that maybe the plinth is being built and I don't actually the 401 with me? 

 

 

@dhcod 

I have fitted multiple arms - Helius, Moerch, Kuzma, SME on a 401 with the arm mounted directly on the plinth onto which the 401 is bolted - no problems.

In other words the arm is mounted at the same level as the bottom of the 401 chassis.

 

Thanks @dover. The arm I have is a Schroder and he recommends a specific distance range as being ideal so now I've ordered an extra piece with my plinth to raise the armboard a bit!
