AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Very nice Lenco L75, fully functional, complete with all contra weights and cartridge with used stylus ORTOFON FF15XE
Lenco L75 is aclassic, manual turntable from Switzerland, known for its stable drive mechanism with intermediate wheels and solid construction, which is highly regarded among hi-fi enthusiasts.
Key features and specifications
Drive mechanism : The L75 is a so-called "idler-drive" turntable, which is known for its powerful torque and stability, unlike many modern belt-drive systems.
Speeds : It supports 16, 33⅓, 45, and 78 rpm and even has continuous speed adjustment from 30 to 86 rpm.
Construction : It is built like a tank, with a heavy platter (which contributes to speed stability) and a sturdy chassis, often in a wooden cabinet.
Tonearm : The model features an original S-shaped tonearm. Its design has been the subject of debate; some believe it can be upgraded for optimal performance, while others believe it works well with certain pickups such as the Shure M75.
Production year : It was produced in the period from 1967 to 1985.
Reputation and use today
The Lenco L75 is popular in the vintage hi-fi market and is often a project for enthusiasts who want to restore or modify it.
Modifications : Many owners choose to build new, heavier plinths (bases) or replace the tonearm to further improve performance, which is a testament to the exceptional quality of its core mechanics (motor and bearing).
"Giant Killer" : Among connoisseurs, it is known for its potential to compete with much more expensive, modern turntables when properly set up and tuned, often referred to in audio circles as a "giant killer".
The Lenco L75 is a legendary turntable, prized for its mechanical superiority and potential for improvement.
The L75 is known for its indestructible build quality and solid performance.
