thorens 150

  1. S

    My Thorens TD 150 AB won’t stop skipping and the sound is garbled.

    I have a Thorens TD 150 AB turntable with a Stanton 500. It worked great when I first bought it. The person I bought it from said he hadn’t checked the tone arm pressure and he would suggest I do so. I bought a scale, but before I checked what the pressure was set at, I started making...

    Thorens 150 mk1 w/ TP13 original tonearm left channel noise

    I'm at my wit's end about this one and I need to ask for help. It's a minor issue, but still annoying. I have had a Thorens 150 AB ("mk1") with the original TP13 (not-kugel/ball) arm for a few months. It's wonderful! Did the lubrication and tinkering, tuned the suspension, installed...

    Thorens td150 mki motor 220 to 117 conversion issue

    Hi AK, Recently purchased a Thorens TD150 mki motor to replace my failing 117v motor. However I’m realizing the motor I purchased may be a 220v. Has anyone figured out how to work around this? I’ve been searching have ended up more confused than when I started. Thanks so much everyone!

    Thorens 150 Mk II Rt. Front Spring Tuning?

    I recently got a Thorens 150 MK II, excellent condition. I don't think it had ever been serviced or tuned; the red paint on the suspension bolts seemed original when I took the back off. Because the platter-chassis was touching the case on the rebound, I tuned the suspension springs. I...

    Thorens td150 restore armboard and faceplate help

    Hi! I recently acquired a Thorens TD150 m1 and was wondering if anyone had restored the original armboard. Has anyone stripped, sanded, and repainted the armboard? And if so, any advice on black paint that has produced favorable results? I’m hoping to maybe get a Jelco 850s fitted on it...

    Thorens TD150 mki vs mkii

    Hey everyone, I have a line on a local thorens td-150 mki. From what I can tell, the mki seems to be much less popular than the mkii. So on that note... The main differences are the tonearm and arm board, right? Are there any other factors that make the mki less desirable than the mkii? People...
