Garrard 401, Instruction Manual, Page: 12 / 21

The Model 401 should be mounted on a board at least 1/2 in (13
mm) thick, or a substantial metal plate, which is also large enough to
accommodate the chosen pickup arm. The board or plate must be
cut and drilled in accordance with the instructions on the template
supplied or, if preferred, with the dimensions on Diagram 8. When the
board or plate has been cut, take off the nut holding the cover of the
connecting block shown on Diagram 7, remove the cover and attach
one end of a power supply to the screwed terminals as shown on
Diagram 4 securing it by means of the adjacent clip; then check that
the wire links are in the correct position for the power supply voltage
and replace the cover. Solder a lead for earthing purposes to the tag,
shown on Diagram 7, then screw the four fixing studs into the base
plate, at the place shown on the same diagram and the three other
corresponding holes in the base plate, until the spring clips stop
them.
The leads are then passed through the cut-out in the mounting board
from the top and the base plate secured to the board by means of the
four studs, in the manner shown on Diagram 6.
Release both Transit Screws completely before fitting the
Turntable.
These have red heads for identification and tighten the
clamping plate which secures the motor to its yoke for protection dur-
ing transit. They are released by turning them fully counterclockwise
using a screwdriver. Re-tighten the screws before transporting the
unit at any future time.
Take out both screws holding the cover of the neon lamp to the top
of the base plate then detach the cover being careful to retain the
spring washers beneath the screw heads. Referring to Diagram 5,
move the lower moulding backwards, towards the turntable spindle
until it can be lifted clear of the base plate complete with the neon
lamp in its holder. Do not lift it so far that the leads to the lamp hold-
er are strained. Unscrew the lamp from its holder. Check that the volt-
age range marked on its metal cap is correct for the power supply.
Re-assemble in the reverse order taking care to avoid over-tighten-
ing the screws holding the lower moulding and its cover to the base
plate. Finally, connect to the power supply and to a good earth
