| want new plinth ideas for direct-drive turntables Great photos on that site, thanks for the link. The 518 project is not mine, although I do have a footless 518 waiting for surgery! :) Lewm, I think it would be a good idea to post your Lenco project at LencoHeaven, and there is a thread on motor ... | |
| want new plinth ideas for direct-drive turntables Good topic, lower down the Pioneer range, probably on a level with the cheaper Technics is the PL518. Here's a great project using a 518 -http://www.lencoheaven.net/forum/index.php?topic=2399.msg34684#msg34684 | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Sounds like Lenco Hell"It seems the Lenco Lovers site was not taken down by the Administration, but was the victim of a very professional hit job. Apparently all data has been deleted and the chances of any being recovered is slight..." ………..this ... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hi Gadfly, did you get that third strike? :( Btw, do you know how to dismantle the tonearm on your Thorens? I got ripped buying one on the bay, but it might be rescued if I can get it apart. Tia, Cheers | |
| Lenco plinth? How big is too big? I hear you. :) As I roam the thrifts, boot sales, and second hand shops, I am regularly asked 'how many turntables do you want?''All of them' is my reply.As for how many do I need? - just the Lenco L70, with the AT1005 and the Decca. :)The rest I'... | |
| Lenco plinth? How big is too big? Hi Lewm,Three turntables sitting on the floor? - no doubt paying close attention to the one you use, like students in class? :) Like to see a pic of that Lew. ;) Five decks set up and running in the den here, a cartridge shoot-out that's lasted a ... | |
| Lenco plinth? How big is too big? I think Ralph has left the building. :)The purpose of the plinth is to support the deck in a user friendly, high waf structure, and prevent unwanted vibrations (from inside or out) reaching the stylus. Use minimum 6 layers of 18mm ply or 30mm of s... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Lewm, we share your empathy :) Lenco takes us from the legacy hifi hairshirt stance of 'no pain no gain', to NO PAIN ALL GAIN. It is too good to be true innit? ;) | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II This thread has been/is a 6 year party at John's place. Folks join in and enjoy the atmosphere and rapport, most read, some post. This thread is damn good fun! Like it or not, JN does that!I think slate is a good plinth material, but I don't see i... | |

| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II A combination of the platter and bearing of the Bogen B60/61 and the flat chassis plate from a B55, will provide a suitable outer rim for the low height Verus. In the first instance for testing the application this is the Lenco(stein) to use. What... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Considering the Verus will be the motor of choice for many belt drive decks as well as idlers with impractical to repair engines, it will probably become part of the analog lingo ie Verused Spacedeck, Verused 301, Verused Rockport oops just kiddin... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II GD, that pesky nail-head that was tripping folks up, has been well and truly hammered flush, nice post. :)Regards | |
| B55 and lightweight platter lenco tables It is a good ploy to start off with a light platter Lenco, make the plinth, fit the arm, use a mm cart and you will be surprised how good that sounds. Then buy a bearing and heavy platter from one of the many 'breakers' on the bay, mainly in the U... | |
| Wherefore Belt Drive? Apologies for the ramble, some thoughts ...Belt drive was an opportunity for the industry to make more money for less, and it was already successful before Linn.The suspended chassis belt drive is not the secret of the LP12's success, otherwise Th... |
