Power supply spec for Thorens TD135?

[Rob Khoo]

Hey guys, new round here and looking to restore a Thorens TD135 that was being thrown away... been looking around at what psu requirements it has and some say 16V, others say straight into the mains. Anyone got any ideas?

It goes into mains. There's a little voltage selection board on the deck under the platter. The black commutator screws into the desired voltage slot.

Ah good stuff, I thought it probably did because of the transformer underneath but didn't want to blow anything up. Thanks!

Here's some pics of it as I found it btw:

I'll be careful... I'm sure there is a transformer shaped object underneath, I'll take a pic tomorrow.

Welcome to AK Rob. Where are you based? That will help us advise you on setting the voltage correctly, that is unless you've already got it sorted out.
