    SME tonearm differences

    How do you tell the difference between the SME series I vs. II and the improved version? I’m getting a TD125 mkii without a tonearm and can’t think of a better option than an SME but never really knew the differences between all of them besides the clearly different type III. Thanks, -Brian

    Thorens TD126 Mk. II tonearm lift platform

    Thorens 125 M2 dust cover

    Can anyone direct me to where I can purchase a dust cover for my Thorens 125? I've asked around my local old audio shop and they just chuckled...and said easier finding hen's teeth. I have a clear vinyl cover over it now which the wife hates, so I guess I have to break down go searching. TIA.
