The Lenco BA 585 was a ‚only battery powered‘ version and uses 6 x LR14 batteries (9 V-DC) as power source. The case was different to all other J-585 electrophones as there were no round corners. The loudspeaker was installed in the front of the case. There was a separate power switch for the motor that has been operated by the speed selector mechanics but it also included an automatic shut off mechanism with an additional switch.


The transistor amplifier looks like a pre-version of the V 0100 that was once mentioned in an article in the Dutch radio Bulletin in March 1966.


The BA 585 was distributed by Ex Libris as ‘Seventeen Transistor’.
