Just a small update I managed to pick up a Jelco SA750D man o man what a difference I have also used Dodo sound deading to the platter it is like fitting the last piece in a jigsaw I am like a dog with two dick`s now
Gerry, Nice to read that replacing your techie rubber fitted on the platter underside works well. Dynamat or Dodo its worth the effort .
One of the cheapest mods and one of the most effective.

Try recapping your PCB, remove your cue light, replace your tonearm board, + loads of other stuff! The list goes on.

I have done these allready on another thread I was told don`t bother with the recap as the LDA power supply is the two box systemremove your cue light, replace your tonearm board
I am now playing with a Lenco GL75 that I managed to get at a bargin price with bearing upgrade etc etc, I have managed to pick up a second platter dirt cheap to try the mod out and only other plan is to change the arm to the Jelco S arm that Lenco fitted to the Gl78Se as I can change head shells and cartridges easier plus I like the look of them .
Ian for value for money replacing the rubber on the platter is a fantastic upgrade it has tightened up the sound is the best way to describe itGerry, Nice to read that replacing your techie rubber fitted on the platter underside works well. Dynamat or Dodo its worth the effort .

Since becoming medically retired in 2010 I have has to go the second hand route to get most of the extras but it shows with time and Patience you can build a really good system without throwing money at it the bargins are out there you just need to keep looking and waiting and I feel great satisfaction when things come together .
The question is do I now get a laminated plinth for Lenco to see how much better the deck can be made a friend did have a set of templates to use with a roughter but they got wet and ruined
Here's my story, you probably done all the stuff already, I did this 10 years ago..... https://theartofsound.net/forum/show...s-some-me-time

REXTON I have been going through your thread a lot of reading still to do on it .
Gerald, I think you've pretty much done most things that I did. If you come up with something original or new then please send me a mail.
