Hi Richard, there's been a little progress.  We stayed with my brother and sister in law, in Chester, for a couple of days after Christmas.  This meant i could pick up the second eBay purchase (on the right in the pic); my brother-in-law had collected it from the seller for me.  The second purchase was now no longer a secret from my wife, and if looks could kill...



This second TT (Swiss built, the first is Italian built) is not in such good nick as the first so it's this one I've decided to dismantle first.  The platter would not turn without a shove start, but once turning maintained a constant speed.  On Tuesday night I started dismantling TT2 and took out the bearing.  Last night I took the bearing apart for cleaning, and unsurprisingly it was bone dry; not a hint of any lubrication whatsoever.



It the long run I expect I'll replace the bearing with a new one (several people on Lenco Heaven make and sell them), but in the short term I'll clean and lube the original.  More to follow as things progress ...

Plan A = build it with my brother. I think he has all the necessary tools.
Plan B = Stefan or a local cabinet maker
Plan C = https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Goldring-Lenco-GL75-Turntable-Plinth-Plinth-Only-/302959363491 only made for a PTP rather than an original Lenco top plate.

Unfortunately progress has been non-existent.

Plan A: still possibly possible, but not as straight forward as I thought it might be,
Plan B: Stefan has given me guide price, which is not initially attractive and the first local cabinet maker I have emailed has not responded; maybe he's not keen on me because I didn't give him the business of building my hi-fi cabinet,
Plan C: the guy was really keen in November, but now he is not taking on any new business,

Hope you get some interest Ifor. It's great to have a nice housing for quality kit.
