    Hi All! Huge huge thanks in advance. I'm new to audio setup, and just inherited some pretty cool gear. All seems to be in working condition but don't know much about any of it. Just wanted some general tips on anything I should know about any of it, and anything to look out for as I complete...

    Tonearm Identification

    Hello! Found a Thorens TD124 today in a storage unit and no tonearm was mounted on board but laying with it was this arm. I can't find any writing or anything. Anybody know what it is? Is it worth re-wiring? Someone has ripped out the red wire further up into it, I can see it coming into the...

    Thorens TD124 Mk1 Rebuild Done

    This weekend I finished (for now) a 4 month project of finishing rebuilding a TD 124 Mk1 table that was in pretty bad shape. I started a couple of years ago, but life got in the way. Started again in the new year. Hours of research on the web, lots of good advice and in particular help from AK...

    The 'Under 300 Club' (TT's under 300 bucks)

    I am always on a budget and can never afford to layout the thousands of dollars for my holy grail turntables that I want: Garrard 301, Garrard 401, Thorens TD124. I lust after these, but can't quite get the funds together to buy one, make a plinth, buy a tone arm, cart, etc... I think after I...

    Thorens TD124 rebuild

    Hi...I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to who to send my 124mk1 to for a total overhaul, and if anyone has done this what should I expect price wise and turn around time? I live in western NY so I would prefer east coast locale, but not really a big deal thanks in advance

    Price check on Thorens TD124

    I have a line on a Thorens 124 for sale that will need to be repaired. Seller says the motor and platter spin, but does not know anything else about functionality. It if filthy, has no plinth and the chrome on the tone arm is pitted and chipping off so it may need to be replaced. Seller is...

    Thorens strobe and speed issue

    Hey guys. I had a Thorens 124 that has been sitting in a storage box for a while, and with the impending birth of my daughter, I thought I'd give it a thorough rebuild. It was in remarkably good shape with the rubber parts still pliable and tediously rebuilt it over about three weeks. My...

    Fused TD 124 speed selector

    This WILL NOT budge: I've let it soak in acetone for 24 hours. I've tried heat. Nothing. Any ideas?

    McIntosh in the Blood

    A pleasure - I've been browsing around here for sometime, always hovering and never engaging. I figured I'd change that today! I'm posting in the McIntosh forum because that certainly seemed most appropriate. I was baptized into McIntosh-ism through my late father (six years gone). My father...

    Idler wheel not engaging

    Well I went to my Thorens Td124 Mk1 deck today to play a record and (now having taken it apart) I've noticed the idler wheel isn't engaging the stepped pulley at all. When I moved the idler wheel on its support bracket i noticed it had little resistance. I was expecting a strong-ish spring to...

    Cartridge advice: For SME 3009 SII (non-improved)

    Hi Folks, I'm hoping to get some advice on matching a vintage SME 3009 S2 (non improved) tonearm matched to a good cartridge for a TD124MKII. I know this is a classic TT/tonearm combination, but I'm a bit confused on my options. The TT is new to me, and came with the SME arm but not a...

    Thorens TD 124 vs Thorens TD 125

    I have always wanted a TD 124. I really lust after these things. This question is about differences/comparisons between the 124 and the 125, and also any info on TD 160's as well if they merit it. I'm just curious about the 125 and I am thinking it might be the better TT. But they are different...
