What tt 's have you sold after getting a Lenco?

I'm intrigued to see what happens here. Since Johnnantais's monster thread has been running for 2 years i feel it would be great to see what turntables people have put to one side after having replinthed and re-armed a Lenco. There have been, I know, some very expensive TT's sold to make way for a Lenco.

I personally replinthed a Lenco GL75 and have an OL Silver arm and Denon DL103R cart on it now. I then sold a Thorens TD160 and a Garrard 401 on a nice plinth. One caveat here is that, while my Lenco beat my Garrard in every way, Johnnantais has managed to get a Garrard 301 to sound to him very close to a Lenco.

I don't have a Lenco in my system (yet); it's a newly restored cream, grease-bearing Garrard 301 that has banished the belt-drives. A much-modified AR turntable including custom-built armboard integrated with the subchassis, would now be on the block except for my tendency to be a pack rat; much to the detriment of available storage space in the house and garage, I've never sold ANYTHING!

Being a pack rat can be beneficial, though; I didn't have to BUY the Garrard 301 for the outrageous prices they seem to command nowadays; just took it off a shelf where it had been placed over ten years ago!
