Are Thorens power supplies interchangeable?

[DublinTrader]

I just bought a Thorens TD-316 on the auction website. The seller did not disclose it was missing the power supply (another thread in Dollars and Sense). I already have a TD-104 MK II and I'm wondering whether I can use that power supply on the TD-316. Anyone know where I can source a replacement power supply.

Congrats on your new table. I hope it gives you many years of service. You should probably do some more research just for safety, but this is a quote from the owners manual for my TD-320:

"Series 300 turntables are powered from a low-voltage AC source between 15 and 20 Volts. This voltage is provided by a plug transformer. The exact value of the power voltage is of little importance, since it is rectified and electronically stabilized for supplying critical components in the turntable" (page 8).

Good luck!

Hi,
No it will not work as the motor in the TD104 is DC type and motor motor in the TD316 is AC what you need a 16VAC .5A transformer like the ones used Pro-ject turntable here a link:
