The Lencos in my stable are purchased and rebuilt, cleaned throughout, greased, oiled and adjusted. I normally do not repaint. After 4 plinths, I found my woodworking skills lacked the perfection these fine vintage tables deserve. Therefore, I've asked an expert wood craftsman to build various plinths using different types of wood. The recipe for the plinth is the best I know of as discussed on the Audiogon thread by the Lenco crazies- 5 layers of Baltic Birch ply, with 2 layers of MDF. Like a true crazy, I agree that this layering is best for absorbing any vibration from the powerful, high RPM Lenco power house, i.e., the motor. It's always fun to stalk the various lumber stores up here in Orygun with my builder/craftsman. He knows the wood like the Salmon know water; how it will cut, color variations and striations, density (armboards) and grain matching properties. I hope you enjoy looking at these fine tables and that you will someday realize that not only are they pieces of art, but glorious machines as well.

This one is my personal table. Like the other one above, the sides are Peruvian Walnut with a Lacewood inlay. Armboards are Ebony and top is Bidseye Maple veneer.

This beauty has Australian Fishtal sides and armboards. Like the Lacewood, the texture of this fine wood seems to move, as if it is traveling around the plinth. Of course, with the right music and smoke this phenomena can be enhanced. The top is Walnut Swirl veneer.
