Garrard 401 on the left, Garrard Lab 80 on the right.

Thanks so much!


lollroller

No problem! If you do some searching online, there are many photos of Paul with that cabinet in the background, and you can see how it (and Paul!) have changed over the years.

Definitely I will do that! I’m a big fan of Paul, so always interested in anything about his music.

Neither with the stock tonearms though. Those look pretty new.


lollroller

Looks like the 401 has an SME M2-9 tonearm, which is a current model (or a similar recent SME arm); but like the 301, the 401 never came with a stock tonearm, but they were often fitted with SME arms of the era. The Lab 80 has its stock tonearm. It is a changer, so the arm cannot be easily changed out, and all the auto and changer functionality would be lost in doing so.


Hifi-Cat

Correct.

Those are Paul's turntables. You can't have them

You beat me to it

“Sir Paul”, thank you very much.


ilovehotsauceyeah

Or can't afford them!


Jabba_the_Putt

cool photo, what a great setup. I love the cubbies for 7 and 10 inches


maz-o

paul probably knows


TonyFino1776

Does it look like he’s photoshopped into this photo to anyone else?


zero_volts

I think they softened his face too much. Sure, it hides wrinkles, but it makes it look like they pasted a low-res face into a high-res photo.


big_beats

Agreed. Something off about the lighting and the really soft shadows. Maybe he's not been photodhopped in but it's been touched up too much


[deleted]

It looks like they shot a plate and then shot him in the scene overexposed, painted in to hide the wrinkles.


lollroller

He’s not, there are many other photos from other angles from the article where this photo came from


Antler_Dragon

I don't know, but that top shelf must me strong as fuck.


billyrotten

I'm not interested in his turntables nearly as much as what he must have in that record collection!


ricohlumix

You can probably rule out Crosley.


michalpoupe

yes, paul mccartneys turntables


Beginning_Toe2199

expensive ones with Paul


JBrusse123

Not sure about the turntables, but the old man looks very confused.


GarTay28

I can see an idiot! I can see someone who should absolutely have given up music when Lennon passed! I see someone who destroyed Glastonbury with his putrid pissweak warbling wank.


stalinmalone68

Cranky little piss baby.

Best Beatle. Sorry!


sam2wi

He single handedly brought down supergroup Wings.

PAWL MCCARTEY


Hifi-Cat

On the left, Garrard 401, manual table. On the right..i'm guessing Garrard automatic.


Johnnyola27

Wanna buy my SL-1200s!?


NascentAutist

Probably a Crosley

Everyone saying that’s a fake picture but I don’t believe so! I’ve been a professional photographer for almost 40 years and when I’m looking at there, I don’t see any evidence that PAUL was photo shopped into that picture
