below: Rodney's comments:
"Hi Steve,
....Early this
year, I was able to somewhat finish another Idler based turntable.
The motor/idler drive system, spindle and platter were taken from a
Lenco 75 ( hence the name " spirit of 75 " ).
It uses a top
plate based on Peter Reinders' of Lenco Heaven forum.
The plinth
styling is similarly taken from my previous Garrard 301 project posted
in your site. (edit; in the Garrard Gallery)
It comprises of
ebony wood, layers of plywood and black perspex or acrylic.
The
tonearm is a special 12 inch version of the Odyssey Rp1 tonearm by John
Gordon.
It is intended to be used with a speed controller (
ongoing development at lenco heaven ) but already functions perfectly on
it's own.
The motor is a 50 hz model but because of the PTP, can
be tweaked to function at 60 hz frequency.
So this is somewhat a
solution to the rather rare availability of 60 hz North American
versions......"
