I noticed that in your build pics there did not seem to be a channel cut through to the back for the tonearm - did you end up doing that and sticking a plate on the back? It doesn't look like you've run any wires out through the bottom. Fantastic build, one of my favourites; I have been after a local shop to get me some corian offcuts for the past year but apparently they're just too good at measuring twice and cutting once. The only pieces they ended up calling me about were a hideous mottled purple....no thanks.  |

There's a hole directly under the armboard that runs out the bottom of the plinth. Thats where the tonearm cable exits. You can see it at the top-right of the plinth here:  |

Ahhh okay. I did not see the wires coming out the bottom in your pics so assumed you had wired in a handy terminal.

very nice build, this was the inspiration for me over 12 months ago to re-build a Lenco  tell me what speed box did you use ? as the PCB I was going to buy ( Nigel's Speed Controller) seems unavailable now ! http://www.lencoheaven.net/forum/index.php?topic=13981.0 |

actually, currently I'm manually changing speeds, which means not many 45s are being played ...

Hi,
I love it. Sometimes saying less means more. Just want more pictures.

Hi,
I too like the clean look of your Lenco. It really does look very good.

Update: Several months ago, I bought one of Giorgio's spindle extensions ( http://www.lencoheaven.net/forum/index.php?topic=25471.0). I liked the look of his corian platter but wanted something a bit more beefy that matched the outer edge of the Lenco platter and with a label cutout. After tracking down a really nice piece of speckly dark corian for €20 (!!!) on eBay, I've finally had the platters cut. I have yet to finish the edges. One day when I'm feeling like some meditative sanding. Wow. What an upgrade!!! Background noise is imperceptible - even with my slightly noisy motor. Imaging is even better and the bass is tighter and punchier. Highly recommended. I have PDFs of the platter designs which are suitable for CNC work. If anyone wants to try it out drop me a line. Extension:  Platter prototype in MDF (free to a good home if anyone wants it):  Lower platter:  Upper platter:  All together:   |

One more thing: My turntable finally has a proper cover. The lovely folk at http://www.sora-shop.com made this for me.  I configured and ordered it online, they made it and sent it out the same day. It was at my house 2 days later. Great price too. Highly recommended. |

Hello,
I am in the process of drilling holes for inserts in my Corian plinth. Can you let me know what process was used in affixing the inserts into the Plinth. Glue, Epoxy or what?
Thanks for any answers or help.
James

Wow, this is a late reply. But now that I've seen it, i can't not respond. I used epoxy to embed the threaded inserts. Was pretty easy actually.
