Thorens TD 160 Manual Turntable

This is the legendary TD 160 in all it's original glory. I hate giving this one up as it has been my standard player for the past 2 years but I acquired something new that mandates a rotation.

Other then new TPU feet and 3D printed upper hinges this is as original as they get. Beautiful walnut plinth and nearly flawless dustcover (2 nicks on the top) this beauty is like new. Fitted with an Ortofon Red 10M balanced and aligned, plays ultra quiet. New belt assures it tracks perfectly at 33 or 45. If you know, you know. This has been recently serviced... cleaned, lubed and ready to run for another 50 years.

The pictures tell the story. This is a beautiful survivor!

From VinylEngine:

Despite it's moderate price, this handsome slim line integrated transcription turntable shares many of the advanced engineering features and refinements of the highly sophisticated Thorens TD-125 mark II series.

For example, the identical TP-16 tonearm and belt-driven synchronous motor used in the Thorens TD-125 mark II are incorporated in the TD-160C. In addition, it comes complete with a walnut base and dust cover. Here's the traditional quality and precision you have come to expect from Thorens, at a moderate price.
