Servicing Lenco/Garrard/Thorens TD124idler turntables

Servicing for vintage idler Lenco turntables available to bring a mostly neglected vintage Lenco to a new level of performance which can rival the more expensive modern turntables. 

Most of the vintage idler drive Lenco turntables have been deprived of a proper service for many years resulting in an underperforming turntable. The main issues with the idler Lenco turntables are noisy motor, oil leaking and dry bearing, and disintegrated v-blocks. 

The vintage Lenco turntable (not the present modern Lenco) is a good turntable but with a proper service and some minor upgrades it will be able to compete against the modern turntables costing RM5k! 

I have serviced and upgraded a number of these turntables. I also have spare parts for the Lenco.

I also service Garrard 301/401 and Thorens TD124 motors. The main cause of unstable speeds in the TD124 and Garrard 301/401 is the motor and bearing.

Please PM me if you want your Lenco/Garrard/Thorens to perform at its best.
