Hmm, I wonder what the effective mass of the tonearm on that Puritan is.
I've posted pictures of my beloved turntables before, but I just took a few new ones, so here they are.
Thorens TD125 MKII w/Benz MC20E2 cartridge
Pro-Ject RM-5 w/Dynavector 10X5 cartridge
Both of them sound fantastic!

I don’t know, but the tracking force seems to be adequate.

I know about burning CD's but LP's? You don't use the platter for cooking do you?
I was told that warming up the motor before using it improves stability and sound quality.

How long do the records last? 2 plays?

No dust bug spot with you. Beautiful 301. :thmbsp: Do the other 21 include more Garrards or all different? If I lived in the land of Garrard, I'd probably have a couple more. I had to pay the horrendous post to bring mine over and then change the wiring and pulley. It was well worth whatever trouble I went to though.
At the moment, the other Garrards just include a 401 awaiting restoration and a GT10. However, going back to my early 20s, i used to have about 60, yes that's SIXTY different Garrard models in my collection. Sadly, my grandmother died, I consequently lost my storage facility (her house!) and they all gradually went. I am considering re-starting the collection one day but not just yet - other things need to take priority at the moment!
Interestingly, there are quite a few Garrard models I see on US Ebay that were never sold over here (SLX-3, Zero 2000, 990B to name a few). I'd love to pick up one or two of those but have the same problem as you - namely the postage price and sellers who refuse to ship outside the US.
As to the 301, it was actually bought new in 1964 by my uncle, who treasured it until he eventually stopped listening to vinyl. He then very kindly passed it on to me and I've been doing the treasuring ever since!

Chicks dig the Mule
I am using a Fairchild 412-1B as my primary turntable. They were produced in the late 50's to early 60's. The one I have was a kit, I got it as new old stock, the plynth was partially complete and it had no tone arm. It is a two belt drive system, single speed. The plynth is made from 5/4 Hickory, finished with an oil finish. The tonearm is an SME 3009 Series II. This is the only tt I have had that I can stomp my foot on the floor and not effect the tracking, it will however pickup the thump that is transfered through to the stylus. The upper plynth is floating on the sub plynth on small springs centered with bearings.
