Here's a project I started a couple of months ago. L75 minus the broken plinth and tonearm. Motor and bearing overhauled, Linn Basik Plus and AT95e quickly added to test sound. At this stage it already sounded better than my Thorens TD150, although a little rumbly. Organic tomatoes for that full bass response...  |

Dry fit. A few scorches and gaps to be filled.  |

Gluing the layers. 10mm bolts used to clamp the whole thing together. Yellow light for added ambience...  |

I believe this will be very nice. The CNC router really helps, too. I wish I had one!

Organic tomato cans, possibly a skeletal Lenco first! I think we've had "regular" stewed tomatos before, but not organic. Probably the source of the prodigious bass.  Great looking project. That's gonna sound nice. Consider many types of armboard material, they'll have an effect on sound. You have a great start going, no doubt. |

First attempt at an armboard. I hadn't yet learnt to clamp the plywood between two pieces of scrap before drilling. Functional but incredibly ugly.  |

Very nice, wish I had access to a CNC router, would make like soooo much easier.
I'll look forward to seeing the finish you achieve with the wax. Should be super once complete.
Great work so far.

If you read the Financial Times as well you could afford a CNC machine  |

90% finished. Still to do: - fill and repaint top plate - find or make a new aluminium insert for the power switch (does anyone have a spare?) - have a dustcover made - attach the Lenco badge with glue rather than blu-tac - ship my ~1000 records over from New Zealand       |
