The L70 was Lenco's first production stereo arm.

I've had great results with Denon DL-102 and GE VRII in my mono system and others have reported success with DL-103. I did NOT have success with a Decca London Maroon.

Any DJ cartridge should also work well and I have heard they can sound really very nice.

Only look at cartridges designed to track from 2.5g upwards in medium to high mass arms.Contemporary (early 60s) designs can be great fun but stylus sourcing can, of course, be problematic.

As Pete has pointed out, a level deck is mandatory since there is no possibility of compensatory adjustment. This was introduced in Lenco's subsequent arm, the rare and much sought after P77 (NOT a drop-in replacement).
