I bought an LDA PS from Robin for my Thorens TD124. I am quite happy with it. I found the instruction manual a bit confusing though. I did not change pulleys or motor strapping. I know my speed is spot on because I use a Phoenix Engineering Roadrunner.
If you have a rebuilt Garrard or Lenco you need this!
I have been thrilled with my Woodsong Garrard 301. Robin at Robyatt Audio suggested that I get a LDA Power Supply.
These change from 60hz to 50hz and, most significantly, up 110v to 220v. The motors on the Garrards and Lencos were designed to run on 220v. When fed the right power. it is transformative.
They said it would be shocking. I agree! Now that the motor has 220v and 50hz, the music has a hold on it that is revelatory. It is most shocking in piano. What was before ok and kind of old sounding now sounds more like a piano that I have heard from my system. And the bass is amazing. Strong, clear and tight.
You have to make a couple of simple changes but not very difficult. These are about $1K but so well worth it!
