WELCOME

This site is all about Lenco idler drive turntables, and details the work I have done on my Lenco decks.  I've used pictures mostly and some take a while to load. 

I hope anyone interested in Lenco idler drive turntables will find something worth viewing.  

Please read the Disclaimer, and check out the Lenco Links below.  Thanks for the visit.

Important Note

For the last few months this site has exceeded it's bandwidth allocation, and then it is frozen until the reset (usually about the 3rd of the next month).  I apologise for this, but it is a free service so I can't really complain.   I've setup other Lenco info pages you may want to bookmark -

www.freewebs.com/bornin50-1  - Alt Lenco - why Lenco? 

www.freewebs.com/bornin50-2  - More Lencos - the main components

www.freewebs.com/bornin50-3 -  Here's another Lenco site - projects, arms etc

www.freewebs.com/bornin50-4 -  Number 5, on it goes  ................Let's get heavy. :)

NB I'd like to say thanks to Jean Nantais and all the Lenco enthusiasts who have contributed to Jean's monster thread at Audiogon, now in it's MK2 form.  If you have some spare time :-) take a look -
