    Some pics of my TD160 to follow, now finished and sounding great, I’m finding it some much more musical and fun than my technics.

    I did exactly the same as you some years ago, ultimately the thorens went and the 1210 stayed, I couldn't get used to the pitch instability with the thorens. The 160 is a great deck and fun to work on.

    Nice work. I had similar fun a while back with a TD150 Mk1. Somehow a deck is even better when you've put something of yourself into it.
