    Default Getting my Lenco back into the Fold!

    I have changed my setup and the new rack will not fit my last Lenco build so decided to dismantle it and due to pressures of time, cheated and bought a ready made plinth from Don
    Plinth is very good to be honest so extracted the Lenco from the old plinth and resprayed the top. I had some old boiled oil left over from the previous build so used this on the new plinth (was a bit to bright for me) and here is the fruits:





    Doesn't look to bad. Will give another coat of oil to make it a little bit darker then will finish it off (needs feet, some more rods to connect it properly to the plinth and *put a proper power connector on the back) then check everything over and give it spin.

    Here it is in its new home - looks pretty lush:





    Oh and will look to make a perspex cover also.

    Cheers

    Anyhow - got it all screwed together. Bunged some feet on (took about 5 minutes to make) and hooked up to the mains and the phono stage and so far, so good :grin:

    Just got a slight rumble on the drive so will look for my perspex line-up tool and make sure it is correct but happy with the sound so far - a few action pics :wink:
