    Default LENCO - GL75 Project - PART II 8-<>

    Pt V - More progress.

    Progress on 7000 is going well. I have been spending a little time preparing the top plate. I've now got to wait 24 hours for the primer to harden before I can spray. So here is how the top plate looks at the moment. It's been slightly modified and can no longer accept a standard Lenco tonearm.



    I decided to start work on the Idler arm today. The idler wheel is knacker, the rubber has split and there is no way to refurbish this. I will be replacing with a new idler wheel. I did manage to polish the idler arm. The rubber grommet is in good condition and has been refurbished. I will also be replacing the fibre washers on the idler arm with Teflon and a collar kit to stop the idler wheel from wobbling.

    Here's the knackered idler wheel



    Idler wheel mount before polish and cleaning.



    And then after a clean.



    A tale of two idler arms. Top idler arm is polished and refurbished. The bottom idler arm is installed on a PTP 6 awaiting refurbishment and upgrades.



    And here is everything that's been done as well. I have also polished the speed selector linkages.



    That's it for tonight! Stay tuned.

    It all looks brand new Andrew. I used that little idler collar kit, it really works. Look forward to seeing the completed top plate

    That's the idea Brian, everything as new or as good as we can get it.

    Probably as good as it was when it came out the factory if your OCD for perfection is anything to go by

    The Audiosilente idler wheel is very quiet. It also comes with two tyres of differing composition, rubber (black) and silicon (red). IIRC of the two I preferred the black rubber tyre. Also comes with spare black and red tyres. Not cheap but very good IMO

    YEs I can't wait to experiment with the Audio Silente Idler, I'll probably trial this on my own Lenco.
