Mosin, I for one am chomping at the bit for details on your idler arm mods. My Lenco has been sidelined for several months now due to a wobbling wheel. The wheel itself appears true, and the motor spindle doesn't feel bent or off-center when I apply mild finger pressure to it as it spins. The idler arm appears to be the culprit, which isn't surprising because I've bent it everywhichway trying to get the arm and wheel spindle straight. When I do manage to get rid of the wobble, the tension washer slips over time and I start to get a clicking sound as the wheel rotates. I can feel the "click" in the idler arm, so I'm pretty sure it's transferring to the platter. I've been thinking of threading the end of the spindle and applying a locknut as I've seen on some idlers, but haven't found the right threading tool yet.
Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II
“For those who want the moon but can't afford it or those who can afford it but like to have fun and work with their hands, I'm willing to give out a recipe for a true high-end 'table which is easy to do, and fun to make as sky's the limit on design/creativity! The cost of materials, including 'table, is roughly $200 (depending, more or less), and add to that a Rega tonearm. The results are astonishing. I'll even tell/show you how to make chipboard look like marble and fool and impress all your friends. If there's interest I'll get on with this project, if not, I'll just continue making them in my basement. The next one I make will have a Corian top and have a zebra stripe pattern! Fun! Any takers?”
