    Thorens TD 124 for sale. Yes no maybe so?

    It’s an early Series II but I don’t think it’s worth anywhere near the total asking price. It does have an uncommon non-perforated headshell, which increases the value a bit.

    Thorens TD-160 Tonearm Bobs Up and Down When Platter Spins

    That is not normal in my experience. A loose/improperly adjusted suspension could be contributing to the problem, but there must be an imbalance somewhere and it is hard to figure where it might be coming from. I suppose it could be the platter or the motor, or possibly the belt. Regarding...

    Stevenson and Baerwald walk into a bar...

    Many people believe that conical styluses are considerably less sensitive to alignment than any other type; therefore I do not think that the few millimeter difference among the different alignment methods would be noticeable. Anywhere in the range between Baerwald and Stevenson should be fine...

    Name This Turntable!

    Looks like a VPI HW-19, maybe a Mk II but could be another version https://www.vpiindustries.com/store/p372/HW-19_MK-2_(1983).html

    Older mono cartridge ID request - marked "PC"

    Looks like a Pickering D-120M (or D-140M) because it is marked “Diamond” I have a couple S-120s, with sapphire styluses, that I have yet to try out Here you can see the piece that it needed to mount them, which probably could be fabricated if you can’t find one

    Can anyone ID my grandfathers turntable? The photo was taken in 1962 +/- 2 years.

    I agree that is a beautiful piece, nice job with the quick identification. I hope that it survived and is still being used and admired someplace.

    Where is the OP? No posts since the first day of his question?

    That’s what I was thinking, a 45 adapter sitting on the deck. I could not find a photo online of the tonearm rest, which looks unique and would help confirm it. EDIT— Found a photo of a GA-12 with arm rest, definitely looks consistent

    Didn’t many/most AC motor turntables in Japan come with both 50 Hz and 60 Hz pulleys? Because half of the country is 50 Hz while the other half is 60 Hz?

    What's a fair price to give for a Denon PMA-915R Integrated Please?

    Looks like a decent enough integrated, so as long as it’s in good condition and you can test it. I’d say around $75

    Agree with this, seems most consistent with a NEAT TP-6812, possibly with a GA-12 tonearm. I found that this turntable was also sold as the Channel Master 6653 is the US. Photo of the NEAT model found online:
