    Pickering V15//950ee cartridge

    Hey AK! I recently acquired a Pickering "V15/950ee" stylus used but with a pretty good looking stylus. Turns out that after install, alignment, and adjustment, it sounds like garbage and won't track at all! Just skates around despite having 1.5g, 2g, even 3g, on the arm. Anti skate was adjusted...

    Thorens TD-165 Stylus Quivers & Shivers

    Hi all, I'm writing about an incredibly frustrating and pesky issue. As the subject indicates, the stylus on my TD-165 quivers (shivers, shakes -- whichever verb that helps you visualize it. It basically looks it's freezing in the cold!) on playback. At first, I thought it resulted from poor...

    Thorens TD-1 - SC ?? - MKII

    I'm hunting around for a TD-160. I ran across this, a TD-160 SC MKII, I've never seen the SC. What does this mean? Also, is there any way to tell if this table has the desirable platter bearing bronze ball? Maybe that is not really a thing, but any advice or musings are appreciated...

    Cheapest DIY fix for broken hinges on Thorens' dust covers

    The hinges to my 160's dust cover broke last week, so I crazy glued them back on. Tonight they broke off again while changing a record. I decided to do a DIY fix, so I drew a template and cut two braces out of the lids to tin cans (Chef-Boy-Ar-Dee Ravioli! ). I crazy glued the broken plastic...

    Thorens TD 160 Polished Platter

    After seeing numerous photos and videos of vintage turntables with beautifully polished and buffed platters, I decided to do my own on my TD 160. I started by using 600 grit sandpaper with Brasso cleaner. This took much of the tarnish off the platter as it was VERY tarnished and discoloured...

    Thorens TD-160 repair help

    I recently bought a TD-160 at an estate sale without knowing much about them. Based on the minor research I did before purchasing, the price was right and I couldn't pass it up. However, I've since realized that the one I purchased is missing a spring or something in the anti-skate mechanism...

    Thorens TD-160 Motor Windings Question

    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...
