Never tried a Lenco and the 4hf was the only Idler I've ever owned. I've never truly been tempted by them.
How did your dad's sound Dave?
These are the ones I have set up and working right now:
Technics SL1210 Mk5/Mission 774SM/DL160 set up on a wall shelf in the lounge:
A 2nd 1210 MK2 also set up in the lounge with a Jelco/LAD tonearm/Nagaoka MP20. The TT itself is a spare parts number only being used to run in the LAD tonearm:
The LAD looks and sounds right at home on the 1210:
Shuggie's arm collar is perfect on the LAD:
Lounge set up:
Bedroom set up:
Stock 1210 Mk2/Ortofon VMS20e MK2:
The Systemdek in the photos isn't set up to work yet. I may sell it anyway.
