Starting production in 1953, the first Garrard transcription turntable that supported all extant commercial playback formats, 33, 45, 78 rpm records, was called the Garrard 301. It was utilized by the BBC and commercial radio stations, mostly in Europe, but they was exported to nearly all UK countries around the world.
Garrard 301 and 401 models today are sold on the used market for as much as ten to twenty times their original cost, but they continue to intrigue new generations with their warm and coherent sound quality, and are still being produced.
