    Polishing Thorens bushings

    Hey all - I purchased a TD-160 last week from an acquaintance for a high-side-of-fair price. I was disappointed to find that, while the unit was untouched from a mechanical standpoint and very clean, the bearing well was completely dry. Unsurprisingly, the bronze bushings were a bit worn and...

    Thorens TD 160 won't bounce

    I've just replaced the springs on my TD 160 and I cannot get a bounce. I've tried all kinds of combinations of tightening and loosening the springs as well as twisting them. The springs seem to be a bit heavier than the originals. I might put the rusty originals back in there and see what...

    Cartridge for Thorens TD 160?

    Hello, I've inherited a Thorens TD 160 from my father. It needs a new cartridge. I looked on here and some of the suggestions for this particular turn table are just well beyond my price range (tbh I was kinda floored when I looked them up and they were $600). Is there something good someone...

    VTA/SRA for Stanton 681eee with Jico Shibata D 681EEE-S stylus on Thorens TD-160 /TP-16 tone arm

    Hi, I just got a new Jico Shibata stylus for my Stanton 681eee cart mounted on a Thorens TD-160 TP-16 tonearm. I'm trying to set up a good VTA, but not sure I got it perfect. I'm hearing some sibilance, and sound is a tad bit too bright. Attaching pictures of the angles when on a thick record...

    Cartridge options for a Thorens TD-160

    I have the above turntable with the stock arm. Right now it has a Grado Silver cartridge on it which works reasonably well (no hum, which is nice), but it's a bit old, probably about 12-14 years. I'm assuming the stylus assembly doesn't last forever, so I'm thinking about either getting a Gold...

    Thorens TD 160 dust cover hinge help needed

    I have a fairly beat up TD 160 that works well, but is cosmetically challenged. When I got it, the dust cover was cracked around the hinge. The hinges were screws with washers. Pretty lame. I finally got some of those metal pieces that fit over the original plastic to provide a more solid hinge...

    Stupid turntable idea?

    I just got a Furman 15i power conditioner, the thing is a tank!! It must weigh 20lbs! It is also the perfect size to sit under my Thorens TD-160. Is it bad to do this, set the turntable on it? It provides a very level and heavy base. Picture below. It seems to make the bass a lottle fuller, plus...

    Help me decide! I'm in a Thorens induced state of confusion.

    Hi friends, I've recently found myself in a bit of a predicament and I'd really appreciate some spiritual audio guidance. Because of limited financial constraints there can only be one: Thorens TD 160 in very good condition for $350 or a Thornens TD 135 mkii in questionable nick but functional...

    Thorens TD 160 vs. Pioneer PL-61

    Hello everyone, I have to get rid of one of my turntables. Between a Thorens TD 160 and a Pioneer PL 61 which one would you keep? Any thoughts? Thanks!!! PS: I just bought a Thorens TD 124 MkI, no room for all of those.
