This Lenco (still in the making) is a hybrid of the traditional Jean Nantais inspired mass constrained plinth and Peter Reinder s custom cut top plate from the Netherlands.

It includes my custom arm pod rail system that can accommodate tonearms from 16 inches down to an effective length of 195mm. A-pods are custom routered on a simple jig and can be knocked off to completion in a couple of hours.

The system was designed around a bearing sleeve capture by the second plinth layer. The plinth building was keyed to this capture (all drill work, scribing and cutting both above and below this point) so that side stress to the bearing was avoided.
