Goldring G99 - A Resto too far 8-<>

[walpurgis]

Thanks, never heard of "plastic weld". Must do some research. I've been threatening for ages to get a hobby band saw, this could be the tipping point.

It's very effective Andy. I've been using it for TT lid repairs and bonding other bits.

Chloroform works well with Perspex. That's what we used to use to fabricate signs with.

[sq225917]

trichloroethane will do it as well.

trichloroethane will do it as well.

1-1-1 Trichloroethane - in tipex!

Tensol is the stuff for Perspex - nothing else comes anywhere near (if you want a bond that lasts....)

I've used litres of the stuff in the past .... machine covers, display cases, laminating, jewellery ... etc, etc

I really admire your perseverance Andrew - the effort you are putting in to keep the original look is truly admirable. I feel a bit ashamed that my G99 which was probably in better shape than yours ended up like this:



Then it got modded further to this - Linn LP12 bearing and platter.



I was in my mod anything Lenco phase at the time. Keep up the good work.

I don’t know what the grommets look like but you might find something that will work or something that you can modify at https://www.vital-parts.co.uk

Tonight's update - Pt XXXV - A bit more clarification.

A minor update in that a fellow Lenconian from New Zealand (thank mate) over on LH sent me this :-

I hope you can all see the picture. I need 4 of these. If you think help me in making these, have a set, or know anyone who can help then please mail me. I've made a few enquirers over on LH but I'm still waiting for replies.

No worries your deck looks great. I just wished you kept the 4 bloody grommets so I could buy them from you!

Thank's I'll have a good like around.

As ever stay tuned!

I've still got a few boxes of bits lying around though not sorted into Lenco models. Have you got a better photo? I'll have a look.

Edit, seen your photo on LH - will have a look to see if I still have them.
