This is another mint condition Garrard 401 rebuilt and restored by myself, with my special thrust plate which is sonically superior to alternatives and does not cause wear on the shaft, with new motor pulley machined to work with 120V, built into a 75-pound plinth veneered with Sapele, a very…

I have in the original box a New Old Stock Lenco L75-16S, which is a later Lenco with traditional S-shaped gimbal-bearing tonearm with traditonal mounting collet and headshell, which means it can accept any standard headshell. This makes a great beginner tonearm for those on a budget. It even comes…

This mint condition Garrard 401 with strobe platter and working strobe light in mounted to a plinth veneered in what I call “Chocolate Chip Maple”, a freak of nature in which vines grew through a maple tree to create the effect you see here. It has my own design thrust…

Yes, this is a belt-drive. I occasionally take interesting items in on trade, and historically-speaking this one is interesting. This version was completely redone to as-new by an obssessive audiophile who works in the audio business. New acrylic lid cut and drilled to match the original hinges; finish redone with…

This is a Reference Lenco MKII which was traded towards a new Reference Lenco MKIII. I am currently rebuilding the entire thing with new wood for the top with matching armboards, new MKIII chassis already painted and ready to go. It is built for a single shorter tonearm. It is…

This I built to insert some fun into this year’s Halloween, choosing as an exterior Orangewood for Halloween, set off by black Wenge side panels with dedcorative Orangewood dowels, and black metalwork including special solid aluminum Flying Saucer Feet of my own design. It is built for a single shorter…

This is a two-tonearm SlimLine Classic Lenco MKII, brand new and ready to go. The longer 12″ tonearm goes on the right, the shorter 9″ tonearm upper left. The exterior is in a very rare and special Canarywood which has all the colours of the rainbow. It is of the…

This is a 100-pound Classic Lenco (Plain & Simple), which is sonically superior to those I built back when I did pre Reference Lenco Shootouts vs extreme high end turntables, like the first Forsell air-bearing turntable, a SME 30/Graham Phantom/Benz LP combination, and in public a Shootout vs a $50,000…

When I designed the Ultimate Lenco, I had to test it against a known reference, which was then the Reference Lenco MKIII. First, I had to test the sonics of my extremely rare air-dried tonewoods, one of which was at least 50 years old (and could go back to the…

This design is quite popular, I keep getting requests if one is available. Well, this one is available, visually identical to the one which Arthur Salvatore first reviewed, and built very soon after for his associate, who was first to hear a Reference Lenco. It is built for one shorter…
