I definitely have a soft spot for some of the Thorens tables I come across...
Fellow forumite morkhans brought me a Thorens TD125 to get up and running...
Yesterday I spent a few hours on it and did a few things to get her going again. (replaced caps, re-glued the strobe mirror, cleaned, mounted the arm... :blah: :blah: :blah: )
This morning (after giving the bearing a good clean and oil) I plugged it into my main system for a proper listen.
Result = :dance:
Even though this particular TD125 has a few issues and could probably do with a top to bottom refurbishment (versus a repair/service) it sounds great!!!
Have a listen to the result: The Cure - Close to me (256kbps Mp3 - 6mb)
Definitely not perfect! But certainly listen-able (and highly enjoyable) O0
Where the Thorens TD150 has that 'fun' factor the TD125 brings some refinement to the table (so to speak)...
