A rare occasion in my hi-fi life is too see me switching from electronics to basic mechanics. I’m not either good with woodworking or mechanics :). Either way, the GL75 rebuild is coming along quite fast. I sealed the original arm holes in the top plate and painted it yesterday. Today, I spent all morning waxing the plinth. The afternoon was devoted to rebuilding the Lenco turntable mechanism and testing the re-lubed motor and spindle. I still need to do further calibration, but so far so good.
Here are some pictures of the building steps:

Looking good, Ale. After a gruelling stint in Electrical Land there is nothing quite so restorative as a retreat to Mechanical Land. Happy to hear you are enjoying the experience. -Edward
