Thorens 145 MKII headshell?


Hi all,

I just purchased a Thorens 145 MKII. It needed a bit of TLC but is starting to simply amaze me. {Much better than my Pioneer PL510-A}

One thing I need is the headshell. It looks like this model didnt come with a headshell but a lever of some kind. { I need a bit of help with my terms}

I cannot find any info on this with searching here, vinyl engine, analog dept and google.

Does anyone know if an aftermarket headshell will fit, if so what would I look for.

Can I make one myself? It looks like I am just missing the lever.

It looks like an all stock table and arm.

Thanks!

If the part you are missing is on the back of the arm,Near where it pivots,I think it's The anti-skate device.There should be two small notched arms (one one either side of the armtube) facing backwards.A small weight on a line is attached to one and hangs over the other.
