Fixing Up Old Thorens

I have my dad's old Thorens TD 150 MKII with the original tonearm. I think the cartridge was replaced in the late 80s. It has been in storage for the past 10 years or so but I occasionally pull it out thinking that I might get into it. So my question is, how much money would I have to shell out to get this thing up to speed? I am guessing the table needs a good once over by a tech and I am sure that there are new tonearms, etc that are much better than what is on there. What would getting this in shape cost and can anyone recommend a good shop to take it to? I am near Tampa FL. Thanks

I have the same experience with the Rega RB300 on another turntable. It seems to have a very "midrange" sound. Very weak bass. As far as i can remember speed accuracy = good treble and all the bass is essentially in the arm...
