Help for Thorens SD 105 turntable

I'm a new member, so don't know all the protocols for posting, but...here goes: I have a very nice Thorens SD 105 turntable that has become separated from its power supply. I can buy a new power supply from Thorens for $50 or an alternative 16VAC 1.1 amp generic from a supplier for $17. Will the cheaper supply work as well? I don't have the Thorens specs, so I'm not sure of the match-up...

It sounds like the power supply is just a transformer (like my TD166 II uses). I suspect that your alternative will work fine.

However, the Thorens original supply may be suitable for different mains voltages.

You may be able to do better than $17 somewhere.

How is the belt, what condition is it in?

I'm assuming it's a belt drive, no experience of your model.
 
The belt is fine. The power supply is a wall-wart type, to keep the transformer away from the turntable chasis, I assume.
 
Yes, sorry. It is a TD not SD 105. My mind was somewhere else. I think I'll order the 16VAC and try it. It comes with a variety of barrel connectors, so I should find a fit...
