WTD: TD160 Motor

[Geoff101]

Does anyone have a decent motor for a Thorens TD160 spare?
Must be fully working with a straight shaft and good bearings.

Thanks

If you don't have any luck here, do bear in mind that you can get new improved ones from Hanze HiFi in Holland. The website is in Dutch but they do speak English! See https://www.hanzehifi.nl/merken-bezigheden/thorens-garrard/thorens/td160

Thanks for the pointer, but I'm afraid at those prices, it would be an economic write off.

Mk1 220v or latter IIRC 16V version

Have you checked eBay, they often pop up and some times not for more than a complete turntable can be bought for. Stay away from the stupid prices the seller in Switzerland thinks his stuff is worth its not.

Think I paid £25 for my spare

Thanks Paul, it's the mains voltage version.
Yes - I've got my eye on eBay.

Thanks but I'm hopefully sorted via a Pink Fish member.
