I have a Thorens TD160 TT with an SME 3009 that has been serving me very well for the past couple of years. It came with a Shure V15VxMR cartridge and original Shure stylus. Then when recently digging through some bits and bobs I have acquired over time, but never yet put to use, I swapped the...

Thanks for the advice ... Yes chipwelder I believe it was a surge and the amp is shot - I have had it assessed for repairs by an independent techie.  I have just now confirmed that I can buy a replacement plate amp for it for around R 3000 ... this seems an option given that I cannot find a...

I am looking to purchase one of either of these as a back up TT - Beogram 1000 or Lenco B52 - my dad had a B&O set up with the 1000 and it has got some nostalgic attraction for me, but I expect the little Lenco might be much more versatile in the cart and stylus department. I would appreciate...
