Thorens TD124 restoration
#1

A few years ago, like maybe 6 or so, I bought me a Thorens TD124.I knew it would need some TLC before it .
So, now that I have some time on my hands, I decided to tackle it.

I am not a turntable man, like Kirk.

This said, I knew the turntable made attempts to turn when I bought it.
Today I took the platter off.
Immediate ovservation: the motor runs fine. Big whew! Even if it needs some lube (perhaps), it is running.

Here is the idler in 78 rpm down to 33 rpm positions.

   
   
   
   






1) the idler has cracks

2) in the 16 rpm it does not touch the shaft, and then it will touch it when pushed.

   

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
