Thorens TD124 needs parts

[red raster]

Hi I need the service parts for a Thorens TD124 tt. I'm looking for idler, rubber cusions, motor mount bushings, neon strobe lamp. Please advise on sourse. I ordered and payed up 8 months ago with no results and have to
look elsewhere.
Mike.

How's your French? the guy behind this site http://www.fredhifi.com/shop/category_2/Entretien-Platines-vinyles.html?shop_param=cid=& is the local Thorens Guru so it might be worth contacting him. I'm not sure if he speaks English, though.

If you need a hand on this I'm happy to contact him on your behalf.

By the way, Avole, are you French? I remember reading that somewhere.

Well, I assume so based on that link and that the guy is local deductive reasoning is amazing.

Flunked French

Regretably at the time learning French was not high on my priorities and especially juring the the height of the Quebec sepratist movement and of course living in British Columbia did not help, Having been to Monteal a bunch of times to find that the French know how to dress, eat and are very
sexy.

... the French know how to dress, eat and are very sexy.

And that's why I got stuck here

Seriously, I'm happy to call the guy if you can't source parts from elsewhere. If he can't send the goods to you direct, I can do that.

I'm guessing you speak French? I wanna go to Europe sometime. Wah...

Yes, I do. There's not much English spoken outside Paris, but, apart from that, it helps with the endless hassles in what is the most bureaucratic country on the planet!

Thanks

I sent a message to the Gu Ru in the link and will wait for a reply, I it is
probable that i will have to take you up on your offer.

OK, no problem.

Mike,

These guys in Switzerland are expensive, but they carry a comprehensive list of parts for the TD-124:
