Lenco MultiArm Plinth 4 There are a lot of parts that went into the plinth [apart from the modded Lenco of course] as well as the base which needed to be made from scratch. These were all modelled in AutoCAD first and then full size templates made to work from. The timber/ alucobond composite used was particularly successful, both from a functional and acoustic view. It is very solid and 'dead'. The sorbothane blocks under the main base allow a bit of extra tuning by altering the density and possibly combination of material. The phono preamp support in the base was more a bit of fun. the two crossed over arms are suspended from brackets fixed to the main legs in reference to the way the Lenco used to be hung from springs. I like the idea of filling the metal legs with a gel or high viscosity fluid to tune the damping so I'm going to fit some simple oil nipples to do that without making a big mess. |
