The end of the spindle does look wrong but it might be "flash bounce" making it look different than it really is.As already sussed this LP12 would have been a "chassis only" unit and originally set into the cabinet of a "Stereogram", with amp and tuner etc as were many Garrard 401's at that time.The original LP12 lid was held up with a plastic stay and there was a corresponding slot for it to stand on the right hand side of the plinth. The bolts, springs and washers are original. This rocker switch was itself soon replaced with a square neon push switch as was on my first LP12. The double switch was only used on a few decks and was very quickly dropped for a neon lit red "side to side" rocker.

The felt mat was a late 1970's performance upgrade and most owners, (including me) threw away the rubber version when the replacement became available. The mat would have been made of rubber with raised lines emanating from the centre like a B&O deck but this has been replaced. The Platter should also have a coat of hammerite on the underside and may still have the original line of felt on the bottom edge.

The motor has the early, "pre-Nirvana" bracket with spring loaded bearing and the spindle assembly has a coat of hammerite silver paint on the underside which is correct. The bearing housing cylinder is crimped around the thrust plate with a "castellated" appearance and this only happened on early units.
