It's Hammond B3 Organ Day
Fmpnd, Angela and Shadorne - are you aware that Chester Thomson has two solo albums floating around out there? IIRC, I have them both - or two copys of one. Needless to say, he jams.Mike

Hey Jean, I have actually done some work on my Giant Lenco #2 recently. (My work schedule kills me) In fact, all I have to do is finish sand and route some slots for arm boards. This one is a layer cake with MDF, birch ply and wall board - covered...

Well - my last post did what I hoped it would - kinda. It started up some late summer Lenco discussion, but then it went all pear-shaped.... OK, some guys need for other people to acknowledge their Lenco contributions - WE HAVE HEARD YOU! Jean is ...

Hey, it's Mario! I check in from time to time, in fact, I made the post above because I couldnt stand the inactivity any more. Right now I am a guy with too many projects. I had my Lenco #2 well on the way when a bearing fell off a router bit and ...

Hi Fellers, look at this thread on the Teres idler drive - apparently we are all idiots for "believing" in the Lenco and having any contact with one J. Nantais - an unofficial purveyer of idler wheel technology. They even have a picture of Jean in...

Glen, I misread your question the other day. I bought some teflon washers that are approximately the same size (ID) from McMaster Carr. I havent had a chance to test them though. Its definately worth a try. Mike

Goughary, I figure that it is more reasonable to look for another motor - or even another deck. I finally got another motor from Francois over on the other thread. Every now and then, a Euro-Lencoer gets a 60HZ motor. Keep an eye pealed over on e-...

Thanks for the replies guys. Ebay it is - maybe I'll try Loricraft too. GP49 - this is a replacement pulley - I have the parts for Imbabi's power supply but never built it because I was bummed out by the shipping damage described. DHL has not been...

Ol' Jean has moved uptown with his tonearms. I'm impressed - perhaps one day we will all have an address at the Tony Arms. Get it, huh, huh??? :0)Well, I finally got my L59 set up in the new room and once again I am struck at how not-real cee dee ...

Jean, EL34 PP or class A = one of the best stereo setups there is for music lovers. Like PP6550, it does more right than most amp setups. Only audiophilia, oneupsmanship or the need for more power drives one to seek more. If you ever get a chance ...

I probably missed my change at the top Eicos - there was a pair of HF60's on ebay a couple of christmases ago - no one bid at about $900. Mike

I put up a couple of pics of my 500C - see my system. Now I start to wonder if the Eico HF 87's would have been the way to go.Mike

Goughary, they are M4 (metric #4) thread screws. If you are in the US, I could not find them anywhere local. They can be ordered in various lengths from McMaster Carr.Not to be a net wiseass, but lately a couple of folks have asked questions here ...

Hi Jean, I shall. I am about to clean the front facia tonight and will post some pics this week. I refinished the cool 60's wooden cabinet it came in too - looks pretty sweet flanked by the Dynacos.It took me 2 weeks to break out of my paradigm an...
