    Pt VI - Brick wall time again.....

    Hello all Lenco fettlers and lovers of my blog. It's Mr. Brickwall time again, the part in all builds where you just can't move forwards. I'm currently waiting for some parts from Germany to improve our Idler arm, I need to purchase a whole range of graded wet and dry sheets, I'm waiting for the top plate to cure and then prep for it's final coat of clear lacquer, and I'll be doing some homework into new idler arm grommets. I have been using my time wisely. I have now ultrasonically cleaned and polished every nut bolt (yep that anal)! All the plastic parts have been cleaned with a special cleaner to fetch off grime and give them a "like new" finish. The linkages are quite corroded and will need a complete polish with ALL the grades of wet and dry and then a bench polish to get the best out of them, a decent daub of lithium grease and they should be as good as new for another 45+ years. Suffice to say that the new owner of 7000 will be a very happy bunny. I may get a little time later to post some more pictures.

    Stay tuned....

    Pt VII - Another one nearly bites the dust....

    7000 has been an interesting journey, she was saved from eBay and given lot's of love. Another nuts and bolts restoration. Things have moved forward and 7000 is nearing completion with just the motor to strip and service. Today a reassembled the hand polished linkages. The paint job looks fantastic but took ages to finish. I'm hoping to finish her off so she can be sold and then we move onto another deck. I'll not be looking for a massive amount of money for this one, just enough to make a little profit and cover the costs of the restoration. So, if your interested please send me a PM. Anyway, now some pictures.

    7000 has some new clothes on, a nice black little number and some linkages fitted.



    Here's a picture of some of the linkages all stripped and polished.




    Just a few bits to re-assemble!




    More next time. Stay tuned...

    That looks like you are reconditioning the parts to as new Andy. Very nice work!

    Yep that's what I'm doing. I want to do to Lenco what Audiograil does to Garrard.

    It's been a little while. This project is still on going. I've been busy rebuilding other Lenco owners bearing and decks.
