Lenco L 3807 Direct drive Plattenspieler
Funktionstüchtig
Nadel ist noch gut
Schöner Turntable für angehende DJ´s oder für Home HiFi
At €100 for a used Lenco L-3807 in good condition, this is a fair deal bordering on bargain territory. These direct-drive '80s turntables from the Eastern Bloc typically trade used between €80-150 EUR in working order, depending on platter condition and arm setup—rarely dipping lower without red flags like seized motors. It's not a steal, but solid value if it spins true.
Buyers should verify the direct-drive platter motor engages smoothly without cogging or hum—common wear after decades—and check the S-shaped tonearm for play in the bearings, a frequent failure point. Insist on the original dust cover, 45 rpm adaptor, and headshell with cartridge included; missing bits can add €30-50 EUR to restore. Test with a record on-site if possible.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
