    • Lenco L75 Supersized
    L75 in a heavy 3 part plinth, weighing in at 65 lbs. Outer casework of solid cherry and birdseye maple veneer.
    • Lenco Sub Plinth
    This is the sub plinth that attaches to the main turntable chassis. It has maximum direct contact to the chassis. It also has the base for the tonearm mounting board. This sub plinth also has a bearing damper clamp.
    • Lenco Sub Plinth Bearing Damper
    This is the bottom view of the sub plinth showing the bearing damper. The clamp has a uniform (1mm) clearance around the bearing housing into which a thin lead sheet or blu-tac is inserted to make contact with the bearing. I ended up just using the blu-tac as it was much less hastle than the lead with no detectable performance issues.
    • Lenco Bearing damper close-up
    Close up view of the damper clamp
    • Lenco Main Plinth
    This is the main plinth. This is where most of the mass is. All baltic birch ply, glued together.
    • Lenco Assembly
    This is how the chassis and the plinth goes together. The top plate is mounted to the sub plinth with tiny dots of blu-tac, then aligned and clamped to the bearing. This assembly is mounted to the main plinth with blu-tac. All three parts are then clamped together with 3 inch KD furniture bolts through the layers.
    • Lenco Assembled
    Everything assembled and ready for the outer plinth to be slipped on.
    • Lenco Armboard
    Interchangeable Armboards
    • Lenco Speed Select
    Speed Selector detail. The 16 rpm speed is used to disengage the idler. Speed selector knob now sees more use than it was originally designed for and the stock knobs have a tendency to break. Knob was replaced with a knob saved from a throw away 80's receiver.
    • Lenco Rear
    Rear panel with IEC, power switch, and interconnect access panel
    • Lenco Another View
    Details
    • Lenco One more shot
    Another view of the complete turntable
    • Lenco The Brothers Lenco
    The little Lenco, stock with the exception of a Linn Basik Plus arm, sitting next to his big brother.
    • Audio Technica AT-1010
    Vintage tonearm
    • Eico HF-89
    Vintage EL-34 PP. Rebuilt to stock. Upgrades coming soon.
    • Eico HF-85
    Rebuilt to stock. Upgrades coming soon.
    • Altec Lansing 414-8C, 511B/804A
    Ugly but effective. Salvaged 4 cu ft cabinets and a simple first order crossover. A little more work, but they sound fantastic.
