Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II


“For those who want the moon but can't afford it or those who can afford it but like to have fun and work with their hands, I'm willing to give out a recipe for a true high-end 'table which is easy to do, and fun to make as sky's the limit on design/creativity! The cost of materials, including 'table, is roughly $200 (depending, more or less), and add to that a Rega tonearm. The results are astonishing. I'll even tell/show you how to make chipboard look like marble and fool and impress all your friends. If there's interest I'll get on with this project, if not, I'll just continue making them in my basement. The next one I make will have a Corian top and have a zebra stripe pattern! Fun! Any takers?”

Let the saga continue. Sail on, oh ships of Lenco!

If any former Lenco-Lover has copied Peter's photos showing how he assembles the PTP3, I would be most grateful if they could be pasted in here or in Lenco Heaven. Maybe Peter would re-post them himself. Also, the threads on adjusting, restoring, etc, the motor were invaluable.
Thanks Mario for the explanation
I will hold off a little bit before I register to the new LL sight

Hi Lew,
The PTP3 assembly guide will be available again on Lenco Heaven. Until then anyone who wants one can email me personally.
Wow, that is truly a shame to loose Lenco Lovers. I know people are nuts but I can quite comprehend why some one would take the time. When I got Peter's email I immediately went to the Internet Archive - oddly the last back up of the Lenco Lovers site appears to have been Jan 08 (IIRC).

Can somebody point out where to upload any technical files we might on our hard drives to the proboards site?

On an up note - I am still moving slowly (glacially) on my LCR RIAA preamp, but it passed the smoke test last week. I forgot to wire up the pots on the heaters. When I do that this week, I will set it up on the rack for the first listen.
