Anyone got a good condition Lenco GL75 original tonearm they want to sell?

Must be straight with no Brewers droop!

I've now had a close look at the parts I have James.

One very knackered arm tube, with bent knife bearings, short cable and twisted end/headshell connector.
I've now stripped this down to headshell connector and counterweight stub tube.

I now realise how well the interference fit parts fit together :D

I also have a good condition arm tube but also with short cables, so it is in need of a re-wire. I shall have a look at my in-use arm and see what overall condition that is in.

Have you seen the post on Lenco Heaven where the counterweight stub is made solid?
Part way down here http://www.lencoheaven.net/forum/index.php?topic=8601.0

Sorry can't help further,

Thanks for looking mate. I have had a good look round the net and there are complete arms available anything between £25-£80 depending on condition.

I am after something mint so will probably pay top price and get something in really good condition, it is for cosmetic reasons as well as technical reasons!:)

You will be surprised when you hear it next with the Jico SAS on it. That is why I made the comment to you about MC vs MM cartridges;)

Cheers:cool: for rummaging in your share parts bin again!:)

Thanks for looking Grant. My tonearm is ok but there are a few issues with it including a slight bend in the end and a cracked bearing cover.
