Description
Up for sale: The HOLY GRAIL of vintage turntables – the rarest Garrard 301 ever made!
If you know, you know. This is the ultra-rare cream-rimless Garrard 301 – produced in extremely limited numbers during wartime. Much harder to find than even the hammertone version, this model is a true collector’s dream.
This example is in excellent, fully working condition. It’s been meticulously rebuilt, showing no corrosion or rust anywhere. It’s a quiet-running, smooth, and superb performer – offering that legendary 301 sound and reliability.
What makes this one even more special is the ORIGINAL factory strobe platter – a rarely selected option, making this unit even more desirable and complete.
You’d be hard-pressed to find another Garrard 301 in this kind of condition, let alone this exact version.

Production of the 301 started in 1953; it hit the market in 1954. Last production was 1964 or 65. Which ‘wartime’ do you mean? 1954 was too late for Korea. anachrophile (912 • 9:58 pm, Thu, 26 JunBit of a typo, it is meant to say that the cream varient is very rare as it was produced in limited numbers, as the chassis used melted down bombs from ww2. With limited materials from that available, and the new introduction of cream/ivory paint, units in these specifications are very very rare! audio-engine (427 • Thursday, 26 June 2025
