There I only had to lube it beneath the chassisģ. cleaning the push bar buttons on the right hand side, starting with the simplesrt one for cue. cleaning and then lubing the platter bearingĢ. I observed some first things to do, including:ġ. Short of disassembling every part and re-lubing them, I put the deck on its side and carefully observed all functions and part in their movement. I approached my last acquisition the Zero 100 changer in a relentless manner. I own first of all Garrard model, a wokring 990B changer, then a half-working Zero 100 changer, and lastly and most recently, a GT-55 changer which is half working. (Don't like the grading system but.) Does anybody knows the year it was made? (years of making?) I was just seventeen years old and to me tracking force was more important than slight and accepted tracking error. A sailor bought it with no questions asked.The concept was ingenious, but the arm articulation has so much friction that it likes to skip unless you increase the VTF an extra gram. I had one for just a couple of months and I'm glad I sold it in just a couple of weeks after putting an ad in our local newspaper here Long Beach, CA. Pretty happy it works at all after 46 years. But the tonearm is quite nice and the unit looks fantastic.

I had mine cleaned and degreased and it plays as a manual turntable very good. I am pretty sure the date given in another review is not correct. I have had one for many years, too many :-). Coming from a person with long and varied experience with turntables of DD, belt and idler drive systems different well known tonearms at many price ranges :) A turntable that I look forward listening to dayly. Very engaging, dynamical and musical turntable without any mechanical trouble. Key is, to use a good plinth and clean and lube well and find a cartridge that speaks well with this geniously made tonearm. Using at the moment Shure M55e pickup with new needle. Tracks very well with no distortion/ sibilance and a low almost non excisting rumble. I own a well taken care of fully serviced Garrard Zero International (idler changer with multi voltage) installed in a large custom wood plinth.

Great tonearm concept and execution! Really nice for a bedroom system as the tonearm automatically picks up at the end and the thing turns off, so no worry about dozing off! Sounds a lot better than I expected after I did the full overhaul. I deducted one star only for the complexity of the assembly (compared with the L75) but when I finally manage to get a Linn tonearm for the Lenco I think there will be a fight for the podium! I have a 681EEE to fit if I choose to, but for right now I'm very happy with this deck. If you can find one in decent condition like mine, I'd say it's worth acquiring if your musical taste is varied from Bach to Bauhaus. I marvel at the tonearm and can attest that it tracks beautifully across the entire groove- no better test than piano or trumpet (classical) and is rock solid at 33 and the plinth allows no footfall problems that a Thorens has. Sonically, it made mincemeat of my TD165 with an M97XE just as it is as a barn find. But, out od a long retirement, I'm extremely impressed with the speed stability and classic idler wheel punch- even if only on an M55 with a stylus of unknown age. I've done my research and know I'll need to get in to the greasing, but that's no different than the Duals. This deck came to me via a 'free to you' site and hadn't been used in 20 years.

In my 50's now, I still have a Sony PS 3300, a pair of Thorens 160 series (one of each), a Lenco L75, and an armada of Duals including my (previously) favourite, a 1019.
