Depends on how much "fixing" it needs and the cost of fixing it ( if you're not doing the work yourself. Some vintage tables just get old (like people) and don't operate as they did when new. Might be worth picking up an old AR XA, Dual, etc cheap and run it into the ground.
Fix Thorens or replace?
Hey folks,
I have a Thorens TD-166 MkII TT with a Grado cart. At the moment, it's not working, and I'd like to get some advice on whether I should fix it or replace it. My system is all low end, consumer stuff: Yamaha HTR and CD, and Paradigm speakers. What do you all think of this TT. I have about 150
albums I'd like to start listening to again. Thanks in advance.
