The Lenco in question is equipped with Empire 4000 cartridge (I am not sure whether it is a low or high compliance cartridge). I will probably visit that seller again to find out what upgrades were done to the table and will have a look at it again.
Follow Ups:
Try to find out if there are any other alphanumeric identifiers along with "4000". I am no expert on Empire cartridges per se, but at least one of the 4000 series is very fine, the 4000DIII. Many rank it within a top group of MM cartridges, and yes, it would be in the "high compliance" category.
Of course, you might also want to establish that the cartridge is in good working condition. If it's a 4000DIII or any in the D series, and if it's in good shape, the value would be between $150 and $300 for the cartridge alone.
I will try to find it out. He says that the cart has a new stylus (which one, I wonder?) No one tells the truth, so a buyer should be an expert.
I think more often people just don't know what they've got. Or they are repeating an inaccurate bit of info that was given to them by the person from whom they bought the item.
That's the point. But there is something else (I know it from my experience buying NOS tubes): it sometimes happens when a seller wants to sell a pair of NOS tubes he says it was manufactured in mid sixties, though it is mid-seventies.
The same here: I managed to find out that the Lenco started to make perforated shells in the 70s (and I am not sure whether this is right or not), while the seller says the TT in question was made in 1967.
Also, I doubt that the original Lencos had a Lenco logo printed on the dust cover, while he says that it is original...
then your goals and concerns are different from mine. I would hide the dust cover in a closet, first thing, and I would only judge the headshell based on whether it suits a particular cartridge I want to hear. But I know what you mean; if he's deceiving you on that level, then who knows what else he is not telling you. However, I doubt he is deceiving you at all. He is likely telling you what he believes to be the truth. There's really not much difference between "1967" and the early 1970s when it comes to this stuff.
For info on the Lenco L75,try Lenco Heaven (lencoheaven.net).
I tried to get registered on Lencoheaven but did not succeed.
The following text appears:
'Before you can register, we have to check you are human by verifying the image to the right against the rows of images shown below. Just click the image that looks to be closest to the image on the right and we will redirect you to the registration page.'
So, I clicked that image but there was no response (nothing happened).
It has been determined that you are not human. (What are you?) You have to trust a site that calls itself heaven, of any sort. Screw it, have some more vodka, and listen to music. Heaven is for boring people, even if it is filled with Lencos.

Yes. A little Whiskey + Black Sabbath or the newly acquired Deep Purple In Rock via my Micro Seiki BL-10X should resolve this problem...
I have found it is very dangerous to me to drink whiskey and listen to the Doors. Jim gets me riled up and I always drink too much. Black Sabbath and Deep Purple I can handle, but not the Doors.

Yes, Doors are too strong even without whiskey...
