Not too bad if I can understand and implement the electrics.  The plinth will be built for me. To begin with I'll use an RB301 tonearm that is currently sitting in a box doing nothing.

I thought that the rotary switch could be mounted in the existing switch hole and operated with the original lever.
Thank you both Ian & Graham.  The switch will be mounted direct to a new (probably birch ply) plinth. The Lenco top plate will be discarded. I'll be using a PTP so it'll be similar to a PTPaudio Solid9.

would this switch be suitable? https://uk.farnell.com/eao/82-6151-2134/pb-switch-illum-spdt-5a-250vac/dp/2725505

Ifor,
I don't see any reason it would not work.
One point to bear in mind with the "spark suppression" capacitors as shown in your wiring diagram, the motor terminals remain "live" even when the switch is off as they are still connected via the capacitors to the mains. Many rebuilt turntables of similar design (Garrard, Thorens and Lenco) are/should be fitted with an IEC switched and fused inlet to provide proper protection and isolation.

Ian
Just listen, if it sounds good to you, enjoy it.

Many thanks for that Ian, I've not seen it mentioned anywhere.

Full isolation is best IMO, a chassis switch is good. Ideally unplug the deck from the mains to avoid any risk of electrocution, we'd like to keep you with us Ifor.
