Location: Langwarrin
Price: $900 or $550 for Turntable $400 for Tonearm
Item Condition: Very Good
Reason for selling: Used as stand-in TT while I was modifiying mine to take a new arm.
Payment Method: Pickup only
Extra Info: Bought from Jaspert several months ago and below is Jasperts original text and photos plus a few of mine showing it in action. It is fitted wit a Denon D301 mc cartridge which plays well. Not sure how many hours but could take some stylus shots with the microscope/camera if anyone needs to be convinced.

The G99 is one of the more sought after Lencos and usually goes for a premium ( 2 to 2.5 times) over the much more common Lenco GL 75 and 70. The turntable has been serviced in the past and runs well. The speed dial has been changed to an ebony knob.
The granite plinth is surrounded by a nice wood plinth and the underside of the player and granite is damped with sound deadening material to improve the performance.
The plinth has 4 adjustable legs to help with levelling. See the photos.
Grace G-940 unipivot arm is one of the better unipivot arms from the past and the performance is excellent. Arm on its own will cost about $400-475.
