Thing's GL75 Project

OK, and I believe the bearing sleeves can be easily replaced if necessary

Someone on Lenco Heaven makes new bearing housings if you provide the original bearing shaft but i guess Thingy Dave already knows this..

Lovely room and system Dave and from your photo the rack and TT shelf look to be identical to mine. One teeny concern though, the wee guitar in the corner compliments the look of the room beautifully, but don't you find that it resonates at certain frequencies when you are listening to stuff?

That's my genuine 1950's Hofner parlour guitar and I haven't heard a peep out of it yet...

I don't listen at high volume levels though as it confuses my brain...

There are a number of options for new bearings on LH, but most on there believe the standard bearing is well able to take the strain of 2 platters. I use an L75 platter as the 2nd platter on my GL59 (L70).

The spindle extensions aren't exactly cheap but it's a no brainer. Like I said before, you'll never go back - clarity of imaging and soundstage is just so much improved.

Exactly Paul. Why spend more money if it works well enough as is. There is nothing to worry about stacking platters with the original bearing. Unless everyone that runs stacked platters is lying...

How much do the platters weigh?

How much do the platters weigh?

3kg each, I think.

Cheers,

I 'm pretty sure it's 4 kgs Keith.
