Want to Buy
I've already called dibs on one (probably the first photo - I'm going to DIY my plinth and already have an arm).
I think JP has more than one. Heck, I may be convinced to sell my prodigal Son Mk.II to upgrade to a MkIII that I have been himming and hahing on from JP.
SP-10's for everyone!
I have one for sale - what appears to be a first production year schedule 1 grease bearing. I'm based in Denmark though. Will be visiting AZ in February but that's a long wait for both of us.

I had to update the thread title as JP was kind enough to enable, I mean part with one of his MKii’s, which is now in my hands!
Do I need a 301 or 401? No. Do I want a 301 or 401? Yes! Do I think either will better the mkii? No. Don’t ask why I still want one (this hobby is a sickness…).

So it's on then for February 2022?
As Bob Barker would say; as long as “the price is right”, or I came to my sense (it will hopefully be TT #3 and not #5).
Thanks, I am going back and forth between buying a stock plinth (they aren’t bad looking), or building my own custom unit (I’d go all out of course). The first option would keep the project que more manageable too.
The 301 has been on my audio bucket list for a while, so I definitely wont turn down a good deal on one. The 401 is supposed to be improved and has a neat mcm flare, so it stays on the radar.
At the current run rate I predict TT #7 by 2/22.As Bob Barker would say; as long as “the price is right”, or I came to my sense (it will hopefully be TT #3 and not #5).
My new rule of thumb to keep from buying more than I need (hoarding) and having more thanAt the current run rate I predict TT #7 by 2/22.
I'm having no regrets on buying the Ebay plinth from Moldova - the only PITA was drilling out the armboard cavity (at some point, I'll route it out, but for now, it works just fine with the forstner-bit holes).
