Yep, still have the Lenco (well, 4 actually but 3 are in the garage and one sits next to the one above) Love my music and always had a turntable (plus many records). Not a total Luddite though as do stream music too

 Humble Thorens TD125MkII, SME 3009 arm and Shure V15 here....

Its a Michell Orbe (but with an acrylic platter and springs replaced by new suspension, si,ilar to how the SME 10 turntable is done). The arm is an SME V with a Goldring Elite MC cartridge.

Love a good hifi thread...
Lovely bits of kit - I can't match that either: I'm more of a Japanese gadget/linear tracking geek, with an SL-10 and LT5-V (along with a myriad of more budget "traditional" turntables...).
Cue possible debate on motor noise vs tracking issues

And no debate from me on linear against pivoted arms - both have merits .Was working on a new arm design with some guys on one of the many DIY forums, a tangential arm, but my 3d printer started misbehaving so not touched it for a year or so now...... Hoping to get a wooden 12 inch arm which reduces the tracking issue by some margin but never as good as the linear arm
