It seems to me that with a heavy platter Idler in a heavy plinth you can easily get away with a considerably more modest arm, A Black Widow, Grace 3009, AT 1005, SME II or III or a nice used Hadcock 228
as with the belt drive even very refined and expensive designs they'd
need a considerable better arm to level the playing field (fair fight)and or compensate for whatever drive and speed stability inadequacies, no ?

True, but I never figured the cost of a tonearm into my projects. I suppose I consider them like cartridges, or wires. So, when I said $750 for my Lenco, I meant sans tonearm(s).
A somewhat questionable comparison as your Lenco project is an
extremely involved and complex one compared to all but the most
elaborate objects of art type Lenco projects IMHO.
I take that as a compliment. Fred, I can only hope that I don't let you down with the result...fingers crossed.
It was a compliment, I'm not as creative, competent or imaginative,
I kind of run scared and tend to be (safe) conservative as I figure it'll very likely be an expensive folly once I realize I'm in way over my head, etc.
When you first related your idea's I was (as is my wont ;-) egocentric, and thinking Win's likely gonna regret this, but
but the actuality of your Lenco looks so very natural and balanced
I wonder if you arent at least partially Milanese ?
