For sale is my beautiful sounding and looking Artisan Fidelity Garrard 401 Classic idler drive turntable platform including multiple improvements and accessories that put the value of this table at over $13,800.00.The custom Artisan Fidelity high-gloss plinth finished in Macassar Ebony looks amazing contrasting the gloss black paintwork of the 401 against the gloss finish on the wood. It looks beautiful! The turntable itself has been serviced and brought up to current specifications, including full lubrication and replacement of any worn components. The components include Artisan Fidelity brass pulley and Artisan Fidelity precision idler wheel.
