[QUOTE="irengineer, post: 324645, member: 1315"] I collected my two Lenco L75 from SuperGrand this week, and tonights is the night! I have one in working condition that I will have a listen too, to get a feel for the sound. The working unit is a metal idler unit. The non working unit (some mechanical issue, it only runs at 16 rpm) has a plastic idler, but a better looking plinth (slightly lower profile than the working one). I'll start taking photos and create a build thread, as I suspect I'll needs loads of advice from guys who has done this before. I now have a source for the plinth plywood, a Jelco arm ready to go, the plinth CAD drawings and the donor units. So set to go. I am battling to find a source of idler wheels, as I am thinking of converting the plastic wheel to metal. Strangely, machining the unit and getting the brass inserts done seems to be the least of my problems, the rubber wheel or o-ring that fits the wheel seems to be the biggest challenge. Anybody have any solutions for that? The websites I found that sell idler wheels, do so for every brand I have hear of and loads I have not, all but Lenco! I have some MM/MC questions, but I'll stick those up in a new topic in the Vinyl forum. [/QUOTE]
