My Thorens TD 124 Mk1 - restoration project

[rabbit]

Eugenio,

Your TD124 looks great. I agree with all the points that Barry listed. You should also look at the motor suspension rubbers. You can convert to MkII rubbers, silicon gel grommets, or the springs from Hanze HiFi in Holland. There are problems with finding the correct belts; many are too short (possibly designed for the US 60Hz pulley). I recommend buying from Turntable Basics as they have many different lengths, try 13.6 inches as a minimum. If the belt is too tight you will get noise from the idler.

Good luck with your restoration.
