I have an opportunity to buy a Garrard 401, with serial number 24978. When was this player manufactured? I read an article a few years ago, somewhere, that the latest 401 players had poorer quality, poorer precision in production. Is this right?

According to the above decoder, the 401 you mention was made around December 1970.
