way late here. very curious - Thorens TD 240 / 103. Headshell leads - are they comparable with 'standard' replacement cartridge wire leads ( technics / SME type ) - I have 2 , do not see any pins to accept the tiny clips... looks like the wires are inserted directly into a (removable ) little plug that connects to end of tonearm. these H'shells are both expensive ( Thorens $ 75. ) and hard to find.

Hello. I hope you are still active and can answer a question for me. Unfortunately, the manual on Vinyl Engine is only available for already-registered users and I can't access it. For a tracking force of 1.50-1.65 grams, what notches should I use for the anti-skating weight? Thanks again!

Hi again, don´t know if you already have a video with a safe method for cleaning and lubricating the platter bearing and shaft of a Thorens TD 125. It´s an important issue overlooked for countless of users. If you don´t have a video on tihis particular subject, can you make a simple one ?, I think instructions in the service manual are not clear enough. Thanks in advance

I had one of these many years, exactly the same model as the one featured here, using Rega RB300 tonearm and I think a Goldring cartridge. It was an excellent turntable. I had no troube at all with bearings, suspension, it was a pleasure to listen to. The only mod I did was to lose the felt mat and replace with a cork mat, I don't think it made any difference.

Do you have any tips on how to remove the nut /thick part of the sheath where it attaches to the apparatus that raises and lowers the arm? Do you just have to bend the metal somehow? I mean how to remove the brass part from the silver thing that is in the bottom right hand corner of the screen at 2:38.

I replaced a set of new springs and my top plate won't center (line up when viewed from the top). I can twist it by hand and rotate it back square with the plinth and chasis but after it bounces a few times goes back to being off. What could it be ? I don't think it's detrimental to the sound as nothing is contacting and it's floating. it just looks strange

I can’t understand why you should replace or clean metal springs. These are totally out of sight. Replace the foam, this is a good upgrade as the foam is functional for damping the spring vibrations and foam disintegrates after 40+ years.

Hello, I have a TD145 and the tone arm has this light "buzz" sound that goes up and down, and is yet constantly here. So I am thinking to : - fix the tonearm, but how to identify the cause of this buzz sound and get rid of it? - replace with a new tonearm: so should I use a TP-16 one or another one? From what I understand, auto-stop may disappear if I change tonearm. Thanks to anyone who can help ! :)
