I can also do a conversion to your Lenco that removes all chassis sections that are not needed and build a complete new deck for you. please see the lenco gl75 page for more details
Garrard 301 and 401 plinths
I can build new cld type plinths for the Garrard 301 and 401, again these can be veneered in a veneer of your choice

Amplifier, DAC, Preamp, or Phono stage chassis builds
I have two basic chassis types that can be built to your spec. These can be specced according to size, timber type, and paint colour
Type one preamp chassis
I have two basic chassis types that can be built to your spec. These can be specced according to size, timber type, and paint colour
Type one preamp chassis
Type one power amplifier chassis
Type 2 preamp, power supply and power amplifier chassis'
The type one chassis are made from 1mm steel, formed to make the sides and top. the ends are then capped with a timber fascia. you can spec it either with the timber as the front face or the steel. you can have these in pretty much whatever size you like, with the timber of your choice .
The type two chassis have a timber frame, mitre jointed at the corners and a top plate set in, and again can be specced to your size in the timber of your choice
Turntable restorations
I can repair, restore and/or modify your turntable to your spec.
I can restore a veneered plinth by re-veneering, repaint parts that are looking tired, upgrade component parts, or put it back to standard.
I can build new plinths for most decks, wether it is a solid plinth, box plinth or a sprung subchassis turntable such as a TD150 or LP12
I will consider pretty much anything, although some of the older decks can be difficult to find spare parts for.
I can modify turntables, for example, most Japanese direct drive turntables can be put into much better plinths, especially the plastic plinthed ones, and in most cases a better plinth will elevate the performance of these decks. Also swapping out the oem arms on these decks can be made possible if they have a new plinth built.
I can fit new tonearms to existing decks by making new arm boards, For example if you wanted to fit an RB250 to a TD160, i can make a new arm board, and modify the subchassis to allow the new arm to fit.
