Ebay turntable plinth

[Lanciaman]

Has anyone seen or purchased one of the Garrard turntable plinths being offered on eBay, from Moldovia?

Yes. My friend Dougie bought one for his 401 and I put it together for him. It was well made and I had to wonder how they could make it and send it across the world for the money. It did take about six weeks to arrive though and we were still in the EU then.

Thanks for that Chops, I might give it a go. Wanted to make my own but haven't got time. Nice Skoda btw!

Yes bought one. Took about 2 months to arrive
Well packaged and well made btw take into account Duty. I ended up paying an extra £50

 

[Lanciaman]

Ah, good point. Thank you for the heads up. When is this payable?

Ah, good point. Thank you for the heads up. When is this payable?

Duties are payable when goods are imported into the country, so near the time of delivery, not at the time of ordering.

You could always try Carl Ellis over on Lenco Heaven. Not sure if he’s still active but he has made plinths for Garrard turntables. I bought one of his Lenco plinths a couple of years ago and it was nicely made. He’s in Manchester too if that helps.

If it is of any use, you can have the templates I used to build a couple of 401 plinths.

No, the 301 is slightly different.
