Was gradually able to make it work.
Had a 50 hz lenco 75 ( for parts spares ) and wanted to use it in the local 60hz frequency without doing any modifications to the motor shaft. I also wanted to retain what I thought was the Heart and Soul of the turntable. A PTP ( Peter Reinder's top plate ) with some adjustments makes this possible.
Incorporated some features in the turntable that would make arm mounting flexible. Should be able to accomodate most 9 to 12 inch tomearms.
Did some trials on a mock up plinth to check the range of motion of the arm mount.
Once the measurements were confirmed, the plinth was assembled
Under the hood

Though the unit has been working fine since the begining of this year, a motor controller should complete the package.
