Description
Classic Swiss Made Thorens TD 124 MkII Upgraded/Restored/Rebuilt with the latest modern improved parts to bring it into the modern era of Classic Hi-End Turntables! Start with a very clean, never abused or neglected 124 MkII and then rebuild/refurbish it: Complete disassembly, cleaning, and lubrication of all mechanical components New power switch, terminal block, spark suppressing capacitor and strobe light resistor Complete rebuild of E50 motor including new bushings, oil retention felts, thrust pad and silicon nitride armature ball. New spindle bushings, thrust pad and gasket New low resistance power cord with ground Four new base suspension grommets New Belt - Schopper Diamond polish spindle In addition to the above the following parts have been added: 1. Audiosilente aluminum idler wheel for 124- eliminate rubber idler and replace with machined idler, also replaceable o ring2. Hanze HIFI isolation springs for motor unit- decouple motor from main deck3. Retrotone Improved Intermat cork - fits between main platter and top platter-improves matting of main and top platters4. Retrotone Machined billet aluminum top platter upgrade, 975g (replaces the original cast 325g top platter)- 3 times increased rotational mass-eliminate non concentric cast platter5. Retrotone Improved cork platter mat for top platter- best method to mate the LP to the platter6. Audiosilente Bronz Bearing end cap, new seals and thrust bearing - last scheduled major upgrade to the spindle bearing The plinth is an original Ortofon style with 1” thick sides and substantial Swiss construction. Very Serviceable quality European plinth, not to be confused with some of the thin plywood boxes seen on less quality 124’s. Prices of $500 and up reported online for the Ortofon plinths. I waited and searched for the absolute cleanest, unadulterated TD 124 MKII I could find, and did not settle for the more available (and usually very bad cosmetics/condition) MKI versions. The MkI versions have the cast metal subplatter that can be problematic with expensive MC cartridges.I went with the extra expense of the machined top platter from Retrotone from England because I was using a Hi-End modern arm and moving coil cartridge and wanted to experience the best lp playback the 124 was capable of. A complete set of original Thorens TD124 Series paperwork is also included!! Other hi-end audio for sale: Stax SRM-T8000 top of line electrostatic headphone amp. Stax Sr-009S electro Headphones, Dan Clark Audio VOCE electro headphones, Manley ABSOLUTE tube headphone amp with Dan Clark Ether 2 headphones and Musical Fidelity M1 Async Dac and matching Musical fidelity V-Link converter and a Ayre QB-9 USB Async DAC.
