The Blob is finally done! It has been for a couple of months now but has taken a while to fine tune.

The biggest issues were to do with the air supply to the MG-1 and getting the whole thing to stay level.

It has taken two 20l/min pumps running through the two surge tanks to get enough flow to float the arm properly.

The irony is that even though I've gone to quite some lengths to make the Blob able to accommodate three arms at once the Airtech is so much better than my other arms and so much fun to use I've taken the others off.

At least now everything works the way I'd planned. The pumps are quiet enough to leave in the same room. The Lenco is a bloody fabulous piece of engineering. Everything Jean has been promoting on the two incarnations of the Lenco thread are demonstrably evident in this build as it already has been by all the other builders.

For me the greatest strengths of the Lenco centre around it's ability to carry a tune and stay coherent ragardles of how complex or indeed simple the music is. It rocks when it needs to and can be silken smooth if the vinyl is.

Mostly it justs sounds more like music and not hifi.

For any masochists out there I've posted a couple of full size jpegs of the CAD templates I used. If the compressed images are no good email me and I'll send the files directly. Just know what you're letting yourself in for!

So, after about nine months of buggerising about and now that I can sit back and enjoy the thing I can definitely say it was worthi it. Hey, I've already almost forgotten about the effort. I hope my kid appreciates what will be passed down to him!

Lastly the more astute among you may have noticed the CAD models of Nelson Pass' single driver horns and subwoofer designs. Should be the perfect compliment to the mighty Lenco. If I can fit them in the room it should be a load of fun.
