    Tonight's Update - The Reference Lenco Pt CIII - The end of the long and winding road.

    I think the 75 hs now been pushed as far as it can go and TBH I'm not really that bothered for trying to eek out any more performance from the deck. I'm actually more interested in getting the Garrard 301 as far up the sonic ladder as I can. There really isn't anything new happening on the Lenco scene as such and I think just about every tweak and mod that can be done has been done. I've had a lot of fun but now I think it's time to just enjoy the fruits of all that labour. So, farewell.

    Tonight's Update - The Reference Lenco Pt CIV - What's this necromancy?

    Just as you thought the old bugger was dead it suddenly becomes reanimated. I've not touched the 75 in quite some time in fact it's been sitting in the loft for a while whilst I decide what I want to do with it. I'm still a regular reader and contributor when the mood takes me. I've noticed that there appears to be a new motor and speed controller project over on LH and here it is https://www.lencoheaven.net/forum/in...?topic=31895.0 I've put my name down for a full kit. It will probably take quite some time for it to arrive but that's ok as I'm restoring a Garrard 401 at the moment. Should be quite good fun. As ever stay tuned.....

    Todays Update - The Reference Lenco Pt CV - COVID 19 Special return from the dead (Again) post!

    I've not looked at the Lenco for nearly 10 months. Nothing has really changed on the Lenco scene, no new upgrades. So, I'm going to dig the '75 out and see if we can tweak anything. Should be a good laugh! It's another good way of passing some time until the lockdown passes. I'll be posting my findings, presuming I can find anything else to do on the deck. So, stay tuned!

    Todays Update - The Reference Lenco Pt CVI - Finally another update!

    Well summat's brewin here in Yorkshire! I decided to have a go at making my own PTP inspired Lenco. I'll not be buying a PTP kit but simply making my own. So, I have a spare top plate that I found in the garage and I've now ordered a Dremel 4000 drill + kit to help me prepare the top plate. I intend making a whole new plinth of my own design and incorporating all those features that I dreamed up but never quite managed to install in my old '75 project. It should be fun, expensive and keep me entertained over Xmas.

    Over and out....

    Todays Update - The Reference Lenco Pt CVII - Coming together.

    I managed to pick up my Dremel 4000 on Saturday and it's a beast. This project is going to be dependent upon a number of things. I've yet to price up Panzerholz and I have no idea how much I shall need. I'm probably going to look at the PTP .PDF that's floating around for the plinth design and then modify that to get the separate tonearm pod. The unique motor and PSU for this project is currently sitting in a far away country and still being repaired. I might start hacking the top plate up tomorrow if I get a little spare time to myself. It should be quite good fun. This will be my 4th Lenco project. It's quite slow going at the moment and I'm hoping to pick up some momentum in the next few weeks.

    As ever stay tuned...

    Todays Update - The Reference Lenco Pt CVIII - A weird feeling in the loins (oo-er missus).

    Yep, a carry on moment is ever there was one. I really really fancy doing a PTP 6 project with all my spare parts that I have kicking around and from all the messing around that I did when originally learning about how to mod Lenco's. I've fancied doing something for ages but haven't really had the inspiration. I think I really need to empty my loft and see what I have kicking around.
