Replacement of tone arm bearings in Lenco L75 arms


A common problem with Lenco turntables
is the fragility of the tone arm bearings.
When they break the arm wont come down towards the platter
and the vertical movement is hampered.

  • Remove the damaged bearings. They are fixed with a small tap into the plastic so you may have to pry them loose with a small screw driver.
  • The new ones don't have this tap, so if you want you can fix them with a drop of glue. It is usually not necessary.
  • It is sometimes necessary to cut (trim) the new bearings with a razorblade to make them fit. There are small differences between different arms.
  • The picture above shows the new rubber bearings in place.
  • When you re-assemble the housing you must pull (carefully) the tonearm cables slightly from below
