I have had the tt about ten years now and it was about 4 years ago when i rebuilt it.I cant remember for sure now but i think it is from more lik 67/68 it had a pretty early sme with it. The later ones that i have seen have a differnt strobe light and the logo is a sticker rather than a casting. |

The 401 replaced the 301 in 1965 and was produced up until 1977. My decks are packed away in boxes at the moment so was unable to post any pictures but will do as soon as I set em up.
That plinth u got looks really neat . Im after a decent plinth for my 401.

...bad move. I did that with my Thorens in 1993 - got it out again 14 or15 years later and have spent most of the time since then getting it working properly. Of course, it could be worse - you could have put all your vinyl in boxes - it should be part of today's marriage vows after the usual 'love, honour & obey' there should be '...and promise not to insist my loved one's vinyl be banished to the attic.'

For sidefills, can we have two enormous things of a type that might be venerated as Gods by the inhabitants of Easter Island, capable of reaching volumes that would make Beelzebub soil his pants.

The 125 is the turntable that I most regret not purchasing. A mate of mine still has one that he uses with a 3009 mkII and a V15 and he only has me round his place so he can gloat.
The big thing at the time when they came out was to hold listening sessions with the 125 and the Connoisseur BD1 (Kit or ready made) to see if anyone could hear a difference. Tony |

I have a Lenco L75 that I'm modding. Will post pics when done.
With appropriate plinth mods, new tonearm, etc, I'm hoping it'll replace my old old Rega. |

Hi deadbeat what rega are you using at the moment?
A couple of years ago just to prove a point to a friend about how bad the p3 sounds i bolted my rb300 to a tidy lenco i picked up for a fiver and played it against the p3.
I had not even cleaned or oiled the lenco and it still wiped the floor with the rega.
Both tts had the same cartridge fitted (goldring 1042).
My friend payed me a fiver on the spot and put the armless rega on ebay.
I think with a bit of thought about the perfect plinth and arm combo a lenco could easily compete against 401s/301s/124s.
Keep us posted on how you get on.
