Vintage Thorens motor replacements/substitutes
Hello all,
Recently, I have undergone a Thorens TD160 MKI restoration project and am in need of a replacement motor. I found a TD166 MKII motor locally and am not sure if its suitable for use in a TD160 MKI. To the best of my knowledge, the motor used in the TD125 and perhaps TD126 turntables is the same as used in the TD160 series but I have had no luck sourcing these motors individually.
I am also curious if anyone knows of a company who produces or supplies replacement motors for vintage turntables, especially vintage ones such as Thorens, AR, ect...
Thanks to everyone for your input in advance.
Cheers,
Chris
