Thorens 125 MkII AB: Want to reinstall factory tonearm.

Back in the late seventies I switched out the factory tonearm from my Thorens 125 MkII AB turntable (for an Infinity Black Widow). I didn't take any pictures or make any notes about the elaborate cabling and mounts below the table connecting the cueing control. I have all the nuts, bolts, spacers, etc., but no clue how to reattach them. Does anyone have a diagram or pictures I could use to restore this classic?

Thanks,
Carl S.

I do this quite regularly - it's no big deal - other than the near complete disassembly of the turntable. I have no pictures but I could walk you through this.

It involves a complete separation of the deck (upper chassis) from the main chassis and then the removal of the front panel faceplate, first by removing the speed control and on/off slide switches. This is done by unscrewing the single fastening screw of each slide from the bottom and then by releasing the two cross screws visible from the platter side - after removing the deck.

Before you do any disassembly, why don't you show us what you got (parts) and we'll try to take it from there?

Thanks for the offer of support. I have to do some attic digging to retrieve the arm, arm board, and parts. I was just in the planning stages. I'll reach out when I'm good to go, and if you're available we'll work through this. BTW, I'm not that technically inclined, but I can work a screwdriver.
