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.
