I chance upon this turntable online and grab the chance, since this is considered the base model of my 1st table Thorens TD160 MKII I must have it.
So here it is needing a lot of TLC, all life is fading out of it and a shame to let it be.
I have to disassemble everything for a proper cleanup.
After a few days of grit removal, a bit of sand paper and scotch brite
Painted the top plate with black as well as the badge to show the AR logo.
Here it is all perked up
And ready to play, yehey I say !
