Description

This is just to document rebuilding the inexpensive Lenco 75 turntable.

I became interested in this due to Jeans thread at Audiogon. Worst case it goes to college with my son.

The first image is the restored Lenco with Decca, sitting on the refinished (original) plinth. The three images with blue backdrop are what was completed last night (Aug 8, '04). This is a solid sandwich of materials, topped with Western Red Oak finished with black lacquer.

The base surrounding the sandwich is solid Maple lumber finished with water based crystal clear (satin) poly.

Decca arm is fitted with Shure V15VxMR cartridge, stepped up by my EAR 834P phono.

Albert,

The turntable looks fantastic! You'll have to let me see it up close and personal tomorrow night.

Having witnessed (and been the beneficiary) of Albert's meticulous work firsthand, I can't wait to see the finished product. I am sure the look and sound will be totally, completely, and overwhelmingly stunning.
