AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
I propose this L78 SE dating from the late 70s to early 80s. The turntable is in excellent condition and works perfectly; it has automatic stop. The RCA cables, which were very worn, have been replaced, while the power cable, the mat, and the cover are original, and, as seen in the photo, show only minor signs of age. The stylus is a used Shure M72EJ, while the headshell is the original Lenco from that era. Regular idler-wheel drive: the motor transmits motion to the heavy platter through a vertical rubber wheel that rests under the platter itself. This system provides very high torque and exceptional sound dynamics. The platter weighs a substantial 4.2 kg and uses a non-magnetic alloy that ensures stable rotation (minimal wow & flutter) and excellent inertia. Speed is adjustable and natively supports 33, 45, and 78 rpm, continuously adjustable via the famous conical motor shaft of the Lenco. This version uses a tubular “S” tonearm produced by the Japanese Jelco, often identified as SA-13TLS, offering markedly better compatibility with modern low/medium compliance cartridges and using the SME-type headshell standard. It is said that used Lencos are loud; this model has been masterfully treated so that the platter runs silently. The plinth is practically pristine with its beautiful Lenco logo. The turntable will travel with the two red screws tightened; the heavy platter will be removed from its seat to avoid damage, and before reinsertion those two screws must be loosened. The Lenco L78 SE will be meticulously packed and insured for travel. Please carefully review all photos to avoid future problems.
