About time i said hello from sunny Sheffield

Hello all,

Been a lurker for a while

I recognise a lot of your names from other forums (Hi Phil, I sent you an 'O' ring for your plastic Lenco idler wheel many moons ago)

Being a Yorkshire Man with a Scottish wife and a great believer of not throwing away anything that can be fixed or re-cycled into something else (Thanks Dad ) , you can probably tell what my system is like - so here goes.
Lenco GL75 in Trespa 2 tier plinth with Hadcock 220 gimbal arm (Due for a diy replacement) and Goldring 1012 cartridge. Into at present a Cambridge Audio 540P phono stage (Collecting parts for a WD Phono 3 clone with Ruski valves). Passive pre, 6C4C SET amp (get*set*go) and some very old Mordant Short Carnival II bookshelf speakers. (I know, too inefficient for a 3 watt amp and crap to look at but, I'm enjoying the nice noises in my small attic TV and computer free den.)

I have been making replacements for about a year. One day they may get finished

Along with the Pass Labs B1 buffer, DIY Lenco based Turntable, RCM, etc, etc.


John.

Hiya, with that set of kit, sounds like you have a lot in common with many of the folk around here

Hi John and welcome.

I got shot of my 3 Lencos and got a Garrard 401, but thanks for the O ring, it did the trick.
