Hi Omri, welcome to AoS. That is a fine piece of craftsmanship work that you have carried out there. My personal feeling is that you should put that in an expanded form in the DIY section for reference. I am sure many DIYers would appreciate that.

hi guys and thank you for the feedback on my Lenco.. it is indeed a fine table and a very challanging project. i am an industrial design student from a school called HIT and will be finishing my studies next year. i have an amazing workshop available for me at school and try to build just about anything i use on my own - and my system is included.. my speakers are DIY Tannoy 15' dual concentrics:

my preamp is also DIY after a plan of an amazing tube builder here in israel:

and here is another tube preamp i built (and sold recently to my friend):

my amp is a dynaco st70 which i plan on moving to a case of my own creation.
and here is my old turntable:

and another pair of speaker i built (as a paying job..):

I love building audio gear the most.. its defently the most gratifing thing to make (out of all the stuff i made over the years..) as you craftmanship directly impacts your final result.. i also work as a designer for a local audio company called PureAudioProject.. we make open baffle speakers and diy kits (i hope im not crossing any forum rules with writing this..)

if you guys want ill post some more projects of mine :) other then that. im just happy to share my knowledge and experience and love to be tought new things myself.

cheers
