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?”

Thanks Gp49,
It looks exactly the way you describe. I'm not so much concerned with the arm wiring as such... You've taken care of that, but the deck seems to have only 1 wire running from the junction to the preamp side. I'm curious to know, if I do have to rewire this, 1. what type of wiring I need for the job and 2. To what tags should they be soldered so that I actually can hear this beast play.
Thanks

Hi Goughary

WOW... You've saved the whole enchilada ! What dedication and discipline. On behalf of those who wish they had done the same - Thank You.

I'm guessing your offer of "zip-n-send" will attract many requests from "Da Thread" people... perhaps you'd consider sending it to the Lenco-Lovers forum, to be posted for general download ? (email attachment to postmaster@lenco-lovers.com) It may save you some time.

BTW, I too have a Sonus/ Mayware type uni-pivot arm - runnning with an Ortofon VMS20E MkII (thanks again Jean for the recommendation). It sounds wonderful on my L75 - after filling the resivoir with silicone of the correct density.

Thanks again for you diligence in archiving !!

Hi guys,

Thanks to Goughary and Grant, the whole "Da Thread" is downloadble at: http://www.lenco-lovers.com/forum/
It is in the "Da Thread" thread. Though it is a zip. it's quite big, so be patient when downloading ;-)
I hope this will put the word end on the whole issue ;-)
François.

Just to add a bit to the above, look for "Da Thread" under Technical and General.
