Lenco 640

next page

The Lenco 640 record player - here with a built in V 210 mono tube amplifier - continues the portable series. It replaces the J-585 aka Boyophon. The soft line design has altered to straight and clear lines. The loudspeaker is now again mounted in the cover.


In this model Lenco introduced a modification on the motor assembly. Lenco added a lever that moved the idler wheel away from the platter when the automatic stopp had triggered the shut off mechanics. That construction made it necessary to alter the position of the power switch as well. The same construction was also used in the 655 and 656 models.


The Swiss distributor Ex Libris sold it in 1965 as ‚Twenty stereopront‘ for 158 CHF.
