Thorens TD 125 Barn Find

Thx Tom, for me that board looks simple mostly passive components that's why I took chance to fix it. But reality teaches ppl every day . I've learned that sometimes simple things become very complex and difficult.

I've checked every component multiple times, all resistors, capacitors, transistors etc.

When I calculated that board restoration it was looking for a cheap fix, I bought multiple components from different vendors due to minimal qty to order some products, bought plenty new tools and at the end I hope working "THE control BOARD".

Summarizing approx 350$ parts/tools and 283Canadian$ for a new board

But I must admit that I soldiered that control board almost to death. I'm feeling quite confident now when soldiering/desoldiering and using a DMM.

I have plan to copy that control board (order same one form company that produces PCB boards) in near future an soldier same components to see if it works.

One thing I'm not sure. That speed sliding knob, do all of those pins on the contacts need to have contact with pcb? on mine all touches contacts pcb surface meybe problem is there.

For now I'm taking a holiday from that board and hope that one I ordered is operational.

My boss who like to do some carpentry projects helping me with dust cover made from wood and glass. I will post some picture finished project soon I assemble turntable and make it spin.

Thx again Tom for your time and guidance during last week's
