A 4-speed record player using Lenco’s proven drive system with a small idler wheel with 36mm ø. It continues Lenco’s low entry level record player and it has now a new designed tone arm with a removable head shell. A hydraulic dampened tone arm lift and a switchable automatic stop was also added. Everything is mounted on a solid metal chassis. Other manufacturers used it in their music centers as well.
The modification on the motor assembly was inherited from the 640 model. 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.
In Switzerland Ex Libris sold it with a built in tube amplifier - manufactured by Komet - as ‚Komet 7 stereopront‘ for 158.00 CHF. The stand alone unit was sold as ‚Junior 655-Stereo‘ for 69.00 CHF. Price of October 31st 1965
