#Garrard zero 100 turntable value professional#

Although I lubed the tonearmlift with speacial, thick grease, it is still not the best, so be carefull if you operate it by hand, the automatic knows what it should do!Р”Р‡or delivery I will pack the turntable carefully! I will remove the counterweight and platter, tie down the tonearm, and of course screw down the floating subschassis (You HAVE TO unscrew them to assure the subschassis to float freely!).

I was very carefull, but if you want to take them off (and you have to, is you have to take it apart) it is almost inevitable.

The edge of the aluminium cover plates of the tonearm bearings, are a bit injured.

Some minor scratch left on the edge of the aluminium frame (see photos).

Unfortunatelly in spite of the careful refurbishment, there are left some litle РІР‚СљfaultРІР‚Сњ/РІР‚СљinjuryРІР‚Сњ: If you would like to see photos, I made a lot during the refurbishment, and uploaded them to Google Photos. The counter weight, the switch selector button, and the ring on the top of the tonearm tower was oxidized, so i polished them by hand, and I repainted the sides of the switch selector button. Of course IРІР‚в„ўve got the original mat and the original cables as well. (The idea is from the TNT-Audio-s website, where you can read some information about the Garrard Zero 100 SB model, which is the belt drive version of the Zero 100 S, so everthing else is the same, link below) Although these are 4-5mm-s together, there is a litle triangular shape РІР‚СљwasherРІР‚Сњ (the carrier and the pickup came to me together with this РІР‚СљwasherРІР‚Сњ) which tilts forward the pickup a bit, and fortunatelly this results that the top of the pickup is nearly paralel with the surface of the vinyl, if you use this mat. I made a DIY turntable mat from sef adhasive tar damping material and cork. I think they were right, but these sockets were in bad condition, so I replace them with new ones. The engineers tought that it is a good idea to place a pair of RCA socket on the end of the arm cable, just because of this it is very simple to change the interconnect cable. The RCA plugs on both side are made by KР“РЋcsa Audio (a best quality brand here in Hungary, Link below). I tried Chord Crimson cables (you can see in the pictures, the red ones), but it wasnРІР‚в„ўt flexible enough here.

For the interconnect I chose Van Damme (268-006-000, link below) cable. I changed the power cable, and the RCA interconnect cable. I enveloped the inside of the plastic chassis with tar damping material to decrease the resonance frequency of the chassis. The paint flaked off some spot on the black frame (who the h*ll was who told that painted plastic is a good idea, instead of materially black plastic.), so I repainted it with matt black lacquer.

The aluminium frame was scratched, so a professional rebrushed it. I bought a new dustcover (custom made), because it came to me without it. That means I took apart every moving parts, cleaned with IPA, and relubed it before I reassembled it (there was some tricky parts). It was in poor condition.Р”В®ven if you wouldnРІР‚в„ўt like to read the whole description, it is recommended, to read the NOTES below! I uploaded photos whiches I took after the refurbisment, and some whiches I took before the refurbishment. It is fully working! You can find about this turntable a lot of information and description in the internet, for example on VinylengineРІР‚в„ўs site (Link below), so I wonРІР‚в„ўt write about it. Here is my Garrard Zero 100S turntable for sale, which is in a very good condition, as you can see in the pictures.
