Hey Guys

 didn't think the day would come, but as I try to make room in my apartment to appease my wife, so now will I sell a most amazing turntable at a ridiculous price.

This is a fully custom and mechanically rebuilt Lenco turntable by master craftsman and Audiogon contributor, 4yanx. As you will see from the pictures, the plinth is absolutely beautiful (cocobolo with an ebony inlay). What you can't see, is the multiple layers of varying materials within the plinth to make it absolutely acoustically inert. If I recall correctly, the table weighs >70lbs. Table also has an IEC inlet for power cord matching.

The tonearm is an air-bearing Airtech MG-1 and the cartridge is a Denon DL-103. The tonearm (with manual), cartridge, air pump (with manual), and air tubing are included in this sale.

The mechanics of the turntable were totally rebuilt and the top plate was painted to match the aesthetics of the rest of the table. There are 3 cone feet for level adjustment.

This is one amazing table, both visually as well as sonically (idler wheel's KILL belt drives!). I have no doubt I will regret this sale, but my wife has been bugging me for a while and since vinyl isn't a priority right now, I have relented.

Please shoot me a message with any questions. I usually ship on weekends (table is already packed up). Will split the PayPal fee if my asking price ($2550->cheaper than on A-Gon!) is met.

I need to move this before my wife kills me!!! Please shoot me an offer.

Thanks for looking,
Jim

That is one beautiful table.
If you were selling it a year ago, I would have been all over it.
With cart and MG-1 included it's a steal.
I hope you find someone who appreciate the workmanship and analog at its best.

Best

Wow - very pretty. Please don't put it up on Audiogon until you give someone here a good chance to catch it. This is one table to be proud of.

Do you have any more info on this table?  Being new to this vinyl thing, I'm having trouble finding much background on it and the tonearm.   Thanks,

Sure thing, Jeff.  The Lenco turntable is an idler drive (as opposed to the more common belt drive which are subject to belt slippage and stretching).  There are many virtues to this design including better speed control and reliability.  The most common idler ever made was the Garrard 301.  The Lenco is a lesser known albeit similar (some say better) design.  This table was professionally restored / reconstructed by 4yanx of Audiogon "fame".  He did the mechanical work as well as built the amazing plinth (I have more pictures if you would like).  In short, it is ready to provide a lifetime of listening pleasure.

Regarding the tonearm, here is the manufacturers website:

Its an air bearing / linear design for superior tracking and performance (moves just like the lathes that cut the vinyl in the first place).  I'm including the recommended air pump (quiet) and hose as well with the package.  There is a bunch of stuff written on this arm on Audiogon and Audioasylum.  Already mounted on the arm is a Denon DL-103 cartridge.  A truly classic cartridge!  One thing nice about the arm, is that you can easily change out arm tubes should you want to keep several cartridges on hand, available for using at a moment's notice.

Basically, its a ready to go setup that will beat up MANY table costing significantly more!  I'm not kidding here.  Its a special table.

Thanks and feel free to shoot me a PM with any specific questions you might have.

This is a COMPLETE setup that will KILL belt-driven tables!  $2400 + shipping.  I'll eat the PayPal fee.
