Bargains on ebay? (Part 2)

I have a spare belt for it.

Sorry Grant, I'd forgotten. You did mention that.

But, it's tricky to fit and get the bearings adjusted right, that's if you've got the tools to reach inside (and then remember the right way up for the bottom ball race and get it back in without the balls falling back out without using grease. Has to be fine oil only) and solder tiny wires at silly angles as you do it (three handed job). Oh and you have to figure out whether the belt goes back on with the bias helix extended or contracted. That'll take a couple of goes and also you have to get the adjuster dial exactly in the right position, otherwise the dial markings will be meaningless. It was a pain to do. I know, I had mine apart several times just to get it right.

Aye, I read up on it and tbh dont fancy it much lol. It will likely go back on market tbh as The arezzo is likely getting sold alas. Cannot afford 2 top TT;s. although the arezzo is superb and I will miss it. I think I will keep the thorens. The Nak pre will go as well(never thought I'd say that)

[walpurgis]

Do you really have to part with the SRM? Or maybe what I'm asking is, are you finding the TD160 that good in comparison? I wouldn't be surprised. The Thorens may be comparatively simple, but it is a fine TT.

I've seen those before. Coral made some lovely stuff. I'm pretty sure I've got a pair or two of those horn tweeters. They were sold under various brand names, including Eagle in the UK. Model CT10 if I recall, they were only cheap, but sounded very nice.

Sony 2244 quadrophonic pre-amp. Looks in pretty good nick. Must be a rare item now.

always think s very suspicious when people post sales pics that have almost no light and out of focus etc.

Judging by the seller's I.D. I'd say it's a female. She's probably crap at taking pictures.

(hardly surprising. How many women do you know who can handle a camera properly? Many blokes are useless too)
