I deducted one star only for the complexity of the assembly (compared with the L75) but when I finally manage to get a Linn tonearm for the Lenco I think there will be a fight for the podium! I have a 681EEE to fit if I choose to, but for right now I'm very happy with this deck. If you can find one in decent condition like mine, I'd say it's worth acquiring if your musical taste is varied from Bach to Bauhaus.
I marvel at the tonearm and can attest that it tracks beautifully across the entire groove- no better test than piano or trumpet (classical) and is rock solid at 33 and the plinth allows no footfall problems that a Thorens has. Sonically, it made mincemeat of my TD165 with an M97XE just as it is as a barn find. But, out od a long retirement, I'm extremely impressed with the speed stability and classic idler wheel punch- even if only on an M55 with a stylus of unknown age. I've done my research and know I'll need to get in to the greasing, but that's no different than the Duals. This deck came to me via a 'free to you' site and hadn't been used in 20 years. In my 50's now, I still have a Sony PS 3300, a pair of Thorens 160 series (one of each), a Lenco L75, and an armada of Duals including my (previously) favourite, a 1019. NO Manual but u can get one on internet.I have a turntable addiction. Start/Stop switch moves all parts underneath? Strobe light will NOT light up. RCA 's can be easily changed out from underneath baseTHE BAD: Will NOT come on. Good RCA cables, ground wire and power cord. The Arm has adjustment for a conical or elliptical stylus. Speed selector has good movement in moving to different speeds. Manual off and on switch makes good click. Lift for arm works and lets arm down slowly. Has a Grado GC Cartridge (tan color), stylus model is unknown or if works. Cover has no cracks, but has the usual scratches and is not a hinge type. THE GOOD: Item has a nice wood MDF plinth base with dark wood veneer. Item is in nice condition but will NOT come on to test. FOR SALE: A Vintage Garrard Zero 100 Turntable.
