A Lenco L78 at kr 2,500 is well within the going used range and reads as a fair-to-good buy rather than a stretch. Comparable examples cluster around roughly kr 500–kr 4,000 depending on condition, originality, and whether they’ve been serviced, so this sits near the middle of the market for a clean, working deck.
What makes it worthwhile is the platform itself: the L78 is a classic idler-drive with real character, strong speed stability, and a huge upgrade path for tonearm, plinth, and cartridge work. At this price, the big value question is simply whether it’s complete and healthy—arm bearings, platter start-up, speed accuracy, motor noise, and whether the dust cover, headshell, and original parts are present.

Lenco traces its origins to 1946 in Burgdorf, Switzerland, where husband-and-wife team Fritz and Marie Laeng founded the company amid post-war demand for audio innovation. Deriving its name from the Laeng surname, the venture began as an electronics shop that evolved into a factory specializing in record players, earning acclaim for reliable engineering and customer service. By the 1960s, Lenco pioneered hi-fi turntables like the iconic L-75 model, with its robust tonearm becoming a favored component among stereo manufacturers worldwide.
The brand's product focus centers on turntables, which remain its hallmark, alongside a broad array of consumer audio gear including speakers, DAB+ and internet radios, DVD players, and Bluetooth-enabled systems. Under Dutch ownership since the late 1990s—first by the Lenco STL Group and later Commaxx International—its lineup blends nostalgic vinyl revival with modern connectivity, all produced affordably in Southeast Asian facilities.
Today, Lenco occupies a solid mid-tier position in the consumer hi-fi market, prized by vinyl enthusiasts for value-driven Swiss heritage designs that deliver accessible quality without high-end premiums. While vintage Swiss models from the 1950s-1980s command collector interest among audiophiles, current offerings appeal to savvy buyers seeking stylish, user-friendly electronics that nod to tradition.
