It's being offered via eBay and looks a bit better (and more Thorens-like) than the Swiss one.
Anyone tried this Audiosilente Thorens headshell replacement?

For that price I would have expected a double locking pin at the rear,

I'll admit I've been eyeing it. The price is a still a bit steep, though.
I suspect that it goes into the arm deeply enough that the double locking pin got deemed more trouble than necessary by the Audiosilente folks. That said, I can't sit here and recall with any certainty if the actual Thoren's one has two - I'll assume it does, given tabarddn51's comment, though.
I will admit that personally I do like the look of it better than the stock headshell, which is why I'm looking. It's just a shame that there's really not much out there aside from the 3D printed ones, that are well-neigh identical.
Finally, it would save having to pry off the nameplate each time to adjust top attach carts - definite bonus there.

That'll render it useless. The armtube collar has a recess for one pin only, at the top.

That's what comes of spending far too many hours at work, instead of at home spinning vinyl, sigh!
I did say I couldn't recall if there were 2 pins, then again, at this point, I'm not sure I can recall my name with certainty. :-D
Even if it had two, it's nothing wire cutters and a file wouldn't fix ... (yes, I'm being facetious!).
