A 301 is usually always a worthwhile rebuild project.

The 301 caused a lot of head-scratching in the U.S in the day of. Idler
wheel drive was equated to cheap and poor performance in most discriminating
people's minds. One more reason why anybody who was interested in serious
quality paid no attention to Garrard. My Garrard Lab 80 cured me,
permanently.

Even the 401 I had (still have) was a little rumbly. Fixed by adding mass to the
plinth, ideally concrete. Couldn't fault it otherwise.
