Cheap if you can get a few bits off it
Pride of ownership glow is strong here.

I hope they pack it carefully. Be a shame if it got damaged. Still you could put a claim in if it did.
Sorry to be serious but weren’t some of the parts on the Garrards cadmium plated, I would have thought a battered one could have loose cadmium floating about and it is a tad toxic.
Stronzetto will lick that off before Matt touches it

301’s cadmium plated, 401’s ok. I suspect the rust has worn off any coating, but watch out for reconditioned motor and bearing in a few weeks …
There are a few things on there I can use. Mainly I’m looking forward to photographing and filming the thing smashed to bits.

The pic showing the ‘plinth’ from underneath seems also to include quite a lot of bits of rubbish (dead grass ?). Make sure you get that. I once bought a tatty box containing some Quad II bits and pieces (rusty nuts and bolts, connectors etc) and the eBay pic clearly showed a dead wasp in the box. But when the stuff arrived the dead wasp wasn’t there

Anyone near Corby?
A trouser press isn’t going to sort that Garrard out. You will need something a bit more substantial.

I was, but missed the end of the auction
Have msg’d him but no reply so far.
Like the old joke:
(Insert name of current imbecile US president) goes into a pet shop and asks for a wasp. Bloke says ‘I’m very sorry sir, we haven’t got any wasps. Dogs, cats, rabbits, goldfish yes but no wasps. And Cretin says: ‘But you’ve got one in the window…’

I doubt anyone would admit to it if they were.
Office is near Corby
Again, I’d rather have that than a lot of the tat people salivate over in this thread! 
Such as?
Well, virtually any of it. All that stuff with its stereo separation, and treble. And high “fi”, whatever that is.
A word of warning - this is the later Audio Partnership re-make and not the true AI original. It’s shiny, it’s pretty and it doesn’t sound too bad but it’s not the real thing.
