Late summer holiday plan: service the tonearm of a 60s turntable

Jan Cumps
Jan Cumps over 2 years ago

While some say that having vintage audio is like a holy grail - in reality it means work Grinning. This time I'm maintaining the bearings of my table's tonearm. The arm and its moving parts are the most finicky part of the table. And they show their age. Based on the serial number, the table is from 1965 (one of the first 100 Thorens TD-124 MK II). The tone arm is original.

To start, some photos of the disassembly of the arm board.

    At this moment, all difficult jobs have been done. I replaced the race and completed the assembly. The arm is now ready to be mounted on the table.

    The new part is synthetic. And the old one was beyond rejuvenation - it pulverised.
