Thorens TD-124 Questions

[Frazier]

Does anyone know if this type unit came with a green plinth? Also, can anyone ID the tonearm? I see it has an ADC headshell. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, that was light speed. I specialize in amps and receivers, TT's are a rare addition to my sphere.

A classic combo. This is where I go to drool:

Plinths were optional but I sure don't recall ever seeing a green one before. Probably 'custom'. That table looks like it's been neglected a bit. Missing the anti-skate weight and probably the rider weights and arm ($) depending on which 3009 it is.

Edit: Now I see the AS weight laying next to the tonearm base and maybe the stub of the rider weight arm stickng out of the rear counterweight (it should be horizontal though).

Edit #2: Some SME info:

Never seen a green plinth either... but I believe they came in all forms back in the day. Some were installed in consoles and when pulled a custom plinth was made.

I'm fairly certain that my plinth and dust cover are original from the 1960s but there must have been many options.

The headshell on post #1 is not original. :thumbsdn:
