td160

Hi guys! I was experimenting with thinner mats than my 5 mm Funk Firm Achromat that got a little warped. So I noticed that even with the tonearm pivot all the way down and a 3 mm spacer over the cartridge, the tonearm is still sloping towards the headshell. To be honest, even with the Achromat...

While adjusting the motor azymuth I managed to over tighten the adjustment screw mechanism so that it now turns in it's housing and serves no purpose. To get around this I found a simple solution by glueing the motor mounts correctly in place with epoxy. Now everything works fine, but I notice a...

My old Thorens buzzed intermittently for while. Now it's unusable. I've changed cartridge leads and now head shell. No difference. Obviously I have no idea what I'm doing. Who can repair this turntable in Los Angeles area?

Hello everybody, I need your advice for a replacement cartridge on my serviced (but unmoded) Thorens TD160 MKI (with the original TP16 arm which effective mass is 16,5 g). My actual Benz Micro MC20E2 H cartridge has been used for 5 years and I think it lacks soul and dynamics. I got a Marantz...

I bought a Thorens TD160 abot 12 years ago. Never used it or tested it. Put it in my closet and recently took it out to test a Receiver that I sold. The motor has a very prominent hum. The hum is from the motor and not coming through the audio. The shaft of the motor turn very smoothly and...

Hi everyone. I have only been into vinyl for a few years. Started out with a cheap TT, upgraded to a better one and now just recently got a Thorens TD 160. I love it but have been running into a couple problems. I have searched on the threads and seen some people have similar problems. 1...

I have a lead on a Thorens TD160 mkII. This is a special edition that came with a Grace F9 cartridge and says Grace on the chassis. The stylus has been replaced with what the seller says is a modified stylus for another cart that someone sells on ebay but that works with the F9? The table shows...

Just got hold of TD160 mark 1. I have oiled the main platter bearing and dropped a tiny bit of sewing machine oil on the motor spindle. The TT has the original Thorens arm and headshell with a Shure M75ED cartridge and stylus. I think this could be the original cart/stylus. I have set the...

Hi there, I just got a TD-160 with a motor that won't turn when powered on. I'm running through some diagnostics to try and determine what the problem is before I plunk down the money for a new (old) motor. Can someone please tell me what the resistance value of the motor windings should read...

After having acquired my second TD-160 to adjust and sell, I noticed some differences but the one about the motor pulley really strikes me: this is the pulley in the TD-160 I already posted about here. A Google search would suggest this is a TD-125 pulley. Is it possible early TD-160s mounted...

I've been playing a while with my Thorens TD-165. I added damping material to the inside of the plinth walls, to the bottom of the faceplate, and lately even to the bottom of the sub-chassis (also around the bearing well) - using a combination of adhesive tar sheets and white tac. I have been...
