Earliest serial Garrard 301 Hammertone known?


On January 01, 2011 One of my best friends gave me a Garrard 301 Hammertone #2074. I've collected (and regretfully parted) with a few Garrards over the years, but this one is in excellent condition - and by far the earliest Garrard that I know. Out of personal interest, I'm just wondering if anyone has seen a lower serial number 301 still in use today? Thanks to all, and happy listening!

I've got a few and the earliest I have is 1274. You are right. It does look like pot material and even though mine is pristine the finish is not as glossy at all like the beige version. I have many of those. Cheers
Just saw one sell on epay that was restored by Classic #1522 but the finish was original but the platter was a later strobe cut one not the original. Not a complete original machine that still fetched £1399.90. Wow
