Hi everyone - thanks to Mario and all the rest for the restart of this incredible thread - although from the looks of ebay, for all those on the outside looking in, finding a usable Lenco seems to be getting pretty hard.
I have a pretty significant hum, sort of like a ground hum, that begins when I turn the table on. It only impacts one channel, and it lessens significantly when I move the arm (VPI 10) from its rest - although it does not fully disappear. This makes me think it is vibration being absorbed into the base - the pivot is indeed close to the motor as the table is turned 90 degrees (but the arm never crosses over the motor), but it seems to come throught the cartridge or arm, because when I remove the connection from the arm to the pivot, the hum stops. The hum remains the same when the platter is removed, but immediately ceases when I turn it off. The fact that only one channel picks up this hum is confusing.
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks as always, Chuck.
PS: The thing still sounds stunning, even with this little hum - just stunning.
