Lenco L75-S16


Hey guys, I'm in the process of overhauling my entire system. One item I found is a NOS Lenco L75-S16 turntable. I purchased it maybe 10 years ago but never did the project. It's brand new and is still  in the factory box.  It's in great shape since it's been in air conditioned storage.  Is this still one of the "desirables" for vinyl aficionados?

ABSOLUTELY NOT ! ! !

Your L75-S16 turntable is the ultimate, classic, end-of-production-forever heavy platter Lenco. It was manufactured only in Italy from 1982-1984, and has the newest and most refined components (and the least degraded by age parts - 35 years max, as opposed to the ones from the very early sixties).

So DO NOT sell it for $300-$400 dollars to someone who will chop it up for parts because you've priced it like an old beater Lenco. These are rare, rare, rare, I'd never even seen one before (I live in the USA) until I ran across your AGON post.

Start at $800 on eBay USA (maybe hight, and see where it goes from there.


It's no more desirable other than the fact it has zero hours on it, and the much better S-shaped tone arm. Same platter as all other heavy-platter Lencos.

P.S., a NOS Bogen B62 just sold on ebay for a bit under $450 a few weeks back, but I didn't bid on it because I already have two B62s and a B61 ;-)
