My poor, lovely little TD150 has been sat on the shelf in our spare bedroom and I can't bear to see it not being used. So, needs must therefore it's up for sale.
It has no arm fitted, but is drilled for an SME - Russ Collinson will make armboards for it and will set you back around 20 quid.
This 150's in lovely condition, works perfectly and has a very recently fitted, new drive belt (genuine Thorens - cost 30 quid). The bearing's also been cleaned and re-lubed with the Audio Origami oil. Works beautifully.
I've removed the 45rpm changing fork and control rod - I never play 45's and just thought it might introduce resonance which was not desirable. I've got the original bits though and it's easy enough to re-fit it.
For this piece of belt-driven suspended-chassis loveliness I'm asking just £45 which for something which will give a (very) early LP12 a good run for its money is a bit of a bargain.
I would much rather not send it through the post - the thought of this little turntable getting damaged is almost unbearable, especially as it's in such nice condition. I'm in mid-Lincs, about 3 miles from Sleaford. I'll deliver it up to a 100 mile radius for the cost of fuel (let's say £20).
Thanks. :)
