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, just noticed these schematics for a multistandard phono equaliser here. It is inexpensive and easy for a technician to build it for you -- and, given your extensive LP collection, it could be worth it! Cheers
