Lenco GL75/78/70 MDF Plinths Bare MDF finished ready to paint 3 left

Nicely done. Tempted to get one and salt it away for next Lenco project (and there's always another one ...)

Not sure if they will do another run..I wanted to experiment with boring holes into the centre part of the plinth, underneath the top plate, and fill those "Bored holes" (down to the last layer of MDF) with a resin type liquid that would set. I must admit, not my idea, but seen a reference to it on a German website. Result would be a more weighty plinth, with better "deadening" qualities around the motor/Main bearing limiting resonance to the tone arm...just a thought..

Does your wood shop use CAD ?
I have a 401 plinth details saved on my computer

I had a TD124 plinth which had been similarly drilled and filled with lead shot. Jo has it now. I thought it worked very well though I replaced it with a very large plinth about double the size and three times the weight in veneered baltic birch ply (courtesy of Russ Collinson) and that works even better. Also has space for two arms.

These are the same ones you were stopped from selling on Lencoheaven because you copied Carl Ellis's design I suppose?

[donmarrese]

For your info, I wasn't stopped from selling the plinths, goto LH look in traders..they are still for sale..
Secondly they are based on his design, (I later found out) but Carl gave me his blessing to sell the rest....
Ask him yourself..
I sense a negative tone..
Get ur facts right buddy

Carl did indeed tell you to sell the rest, but not make any more. I think in good faith you should point this history out to potential buyers, so that they can make the choice to purchase from Carl and reward his good work in designing these.

These plinths are copies of my design. I did not give permission and was not consulted . After a lot of arguing on Lenco Heaven i agreed ( under duress )not
to object to Don selling the remaining plinths there. I did request of Don not to use my design in future.

[Barry]

So are the 10 plinths you have for sale (5 of which you say are "spoken for"), copies of Carl's design for which he gave you permission to sell, or are they additional plinths?

[donmarrese]

If you read first post, and posts on LH, I have 5 left to sell on workshops behalf.

Take a pretty dim view of plagiarism
