The TRIO KENWOOD L-07D Turntable - Legendary Build with Legendary Sound

[mikeyb]

There was one on sale for ages on ebay and other sites, major issue was no power supply.

I did think of buying it in the hope of either finding a psu ( unlikely) or cloning one, in the end I left it alone.

Haven't seen it in a few months so it might have sold, however if you knew where to get a power supply

Thanks everyone ... It's really nice to see people with an understanding and an appreciation of engineering.

Mike, the PSU also contains the logic and calibration boards but you could possibly have one made... I know a man who has suggested this to me and could possibly do such a thing. Could be very worth it.

I did think about doing that but the asking price of the deck itself was to much to consider that.

Great write up Jo. Good to see you are still using the Croft preamp. Have you had any more work done on this or is it still as you have detailed on your link?

Hi Jim.

The croft is still the same. Still going strong and still sounding magnificent.

Stunning.

I must say that i don't think there is even the tooling to make the deck these days. A simple inflation calculator doesn't do your deck justice given the tech - I'm sure it'd be more around the new Technics SP10 price.

That aside - what a deck - you are a man of fine taste

I agree... The amount of kit to make such a thing now would project the price to the stars.

I'll tell you what, too... Even shipping this from Japan would be prohibitive. The weight of the L-d07 is so surprising. It doesn't look so heavy but try to lift it... Jeez

Latecomer to this piece. Last year or possibly the year before there was one of these sold in Maidenhead for £2000. At the time I was over in Spain and didn't bother. I would love one of these just because I think they are beautiful examples of 70's Japanese turntable engineering. Seeing the price quoted above I am so sorry I didn't respond to the advert now!

Hi Jon.

Wow... well, someone got a good deal there. £2k for one of these is pretty cheap.

I wouldn't expect a nice example to go for anything south of £3k.

The L-07D is a truly remarkable piece of engineering
