VINTAGE Thorens TD-124 Mk I Turntable - Early Serial Number 2935 - Vinyl Records Classic. Condition is For parts or not working so its a restoration project for someone who loves and appreciates these beauties. I understand that the TD124 is regarded as the cream of the crop for true sound and serial number 2935 goes way back to the earliest days of Thorens TD124 production. I wasnt able to find a lower serial number than this but they must be out there somewhere. How many chances are ...there to get one this low and have low bragging rights - not many!I inherited this from a relative who was a quality engineer, and audiophile. He took great care of his equipment but this turntable has not been used in quite a long time. I can see that the cartridge is missing from the tone arm, but I am not sure about anything else. The rubber cushions are crumbling from age but the mechanical parts all seem to be in good condition from what I can tell. The speed switch is not moving currently due to being gummed up from age I think, and will need to be cleaned/lubricated. When I plug it in there is no light or movement, but I do not want to mess around with the speed switch (which has been sitting at 0 between 45 and 33 for a looong time) trying to turn it on, and risk breaking something. I would prefer to leave that to the person who wants to restore this baby and can handle it properly. I am sure that the person who wins this auction will know 1000 times more than I do about what needs to be done to restore this beauty back to its original glory and make it sing again.I am happy to send more pictures of specific parts, or answer any questions as best I can. Good luck and I would very much like to see pics/video of the finished product after its done!
