OK, thanks @candyflip do I report this post and realist?

I just found the instruction book, cartridge alignment template and an ortofon stylus guard. What more could you want for $30?

For Lenco folks I’ve just added some free spares in the Pay it Forward thread. https://www.stereo.net.au/forums/topic/286008-free-lenco-spares/

Thanks @GryfflesI wonder if he’s run out of spares. I’ll contact him and find out.

Item: Lenco Plinth lid and bits Price Range: Item Condition: Used Extra Info: Various Lenco spares. Includes plinth and cover, headshell, Arm lift. I seem to have lost the rest of the tonearm which was in separate box... Pick up in Coogee Sydney.

I saw these on Lenco Heaven and considered getting one. Did you donate your existing motor or buy one from the maker?

Maybe I should stick it in the classifieds for $150 and just donate the proceeds? I thought a $30 entry level turntable in working condition would last 10 minutes. Buy a new stylus and away you go.

Item: Art Audio Quintet MK1 Location: Coogee Sydney or Canberra (July) Price: $750 Item Condition: Excellent for age no marks or scratches. Reason for selling: Not used and moving Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Local pick up only. I purchased this off @beetleaudio (see original listing here) a few years ago and ran my Omega Super 8s which I sold a while back so this hasn’t been used. I’m testing it on my kitchen table with my phone as a source into ancient B&W 100i’s and it sounds fantastic. Probably built in the early1990s. 25 watt pentode version. This does not have the switching option to 15 watt triode. I took this to Chris Kimil to have an IEC socket installed and reconnected the on/off light. The previous owner had added a new fancy power cord but it was not convenient for my setup. Chris checked the amp over and it was still in tip top shape without needing any parts replaced.  Tubes are 2 X 12AX7 (Dicron? K5 MH5?), 2 X 12AU7 regular Gold Lions and 4X newish (6 months use) Mullard EL34s. It also came with some hideous tube covers that I never used but they are included. I alternated between this amp and a First Watt F5 clone, and I can’t pick which I like the most. I really can’t imagine that you will find performance like this at this price. There is low-level transformer hum (normal) that is not audible unless you are very close.  I will not ship this (about 20kg) so local pick-up only. Current model (which is virtually the same circuit) sells for around $4K. Photos: Advertisements without photos of the actual item will not be approved.

Good idea, I’ve followed suit with a post brunch Averna to wash down a particularly rich Croque Madame. Sun’s coming through and I’ll be asleep in no time.
