Garrard 60hz Strobed platter


Hello and Happy Holidays my fellow analog junkies.

You will have to pardon my ignorance on this subject, but I have a situation that I seek some expertise. I recently took delivery of a beautifully restored  Garrard 301 from Chris at Woodsong Audio. It is set up at 60hz and currently has its original non strobed platter. I wish to find a 60hz Garrard strobed platter, and incorporate a keystrobe light that inserts into one of the holes that the chassis bolt uses. The problem is that the Garrard 60hz strobed platter are extremely difficult to come by. My question is, can I utilize a much easier to source 50hz strobed platter and change the setting on the keystrobe light from 60 to 50hz, which it affords the user to do? 

I thank you in advance for any and all information on this matter.

Cheers!

What platter do you have now?

Just use the KeyStrobe. I believe the 60Hz platters weren’t made as well as the 50Hz ones.
Do a sound quality check on both platters. Let them spin for 20 mins before testing.
