- In Part 1, Dave at Vinyl Nirvana shows the tools needed for installing the spring kit as well as how to remove the old springs in a Thorens TD-160. The procedure is very similar for TD-145, TD-160 MKII, TD-145 MKII, TD-147, and TD-160 Super. Sold here: www.ebay.com/it...

What is the change of the springs good for at all? They don't look broken.
Espetáculo muito obrigado pela ajuda
"I have removed the platter catch... in a separate video"... WHICH video? Thanks.
Hi Dave, can we say one of spring failure might cause outer plate to rub the surface?
Not necessarily. That could be just an issue with the adjustment.
Thanks Dave Great videos! What kind of oil and how much do I put in the bearing well? Thanks
Three in One. About a dime size on your finger and coat the shaft. Drop it in gently. Spin.
i guess I'm kind of off topic but do anyone know of a good site to stream new series online ?
@Jasper Marshall Flixportal :)
@Kylen Cannon thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I really appreciate it!
@Jasper Marshall you are welcome :D
Interested in a spring kit for my original owner TD-166 mkII, but curious as to why it does not include new foam dampers? My springs seem OK, but the dampers are shot (like gone....).
I have not been able to find a US manufacturer. There is someone selling them out of the European Union.
I have one question about thorens 166 model. My model has configured to 50Hz 220V but speed is not 33.3 - comes to 33.4 - 33.5. How I can adjust the speed more accurate?
Are you using a genuine Thorens logo belt? How old?
Dave, when can we expect part 3?
At this time, part 3 is only for those who buy the spring kit
@@ddarch88 ok, would be nice if that was mentioned somewhere, or did I miss that?
Thanks for the upload. Very useful. But what did You use the "Sparkplugblades" for ? never showed ?
that is in the third of the three videos. The one available only to people who five the Spring Kit.
"five" - a word for "buy" ?
I have just bought and awaiting delivery a Thorens TD160super (without T.arm - But have a Rega250 and Jelco SA-250 ST ) - seeking info I found Your videos. apart from this - Can You recommend any other sites?
Hey Dave.. Hi. I just bought some replacement springs from your ebay shop. I have a td125... I installed and glued the springs without watching your videos on orienting the loose side of each spring towards the motor... Is that problematic? Thanks in advance
The 125 is a different animal entirely. You will be okay.
@@ddarch88 thank you for your response. I have another question... As I leveled the platter I notice that every once in a while the belt comes off when the turntable starts... Anything I can do to fix it?
I just got a Thorens TD160 Super and it needs attention. One channel is dead, the right channel is really low volume. I don’t know if it’s the cartridge or internal electrics. Any idea what it could be?
Check the tone arm at threade connection. Both sides
More than likely the RCA connector, cut them off but good quality silver preferably not gold. or it could be the connecting leads from cartridge to headshell, Touch the leads with your finger the positives, while it's plugged into the amp at a reasonable volume you should be getting a buzz from both channels equally if this is the case RCA and cables are ok so it's more than likely the cartridge.
And the point of the exercise is what is the point of changing the springs?
Three springs holding up a seven pound platter system for almost 50 years. If you buy and install, you will see the ability to dial in a vertical bounce (with far less horizontal play) is drastically improved.
When I refurbished my TD 126 MK II 10 years ago, the left rear spring had collapsed too much to restore level without a shim.
*A question to the uploader:* I recently purchased a TD 160 in a mint condition, and everything is fine really. Today I decided to lubricate the main bearing and the shaft, but I cant remove the sub-platter. I can pull it up about 3-4 cm and then it stops as if there's a safety or something. Watching other videos I've seen that you just pull the sub-platter off and you can lubricate the main bearing. I tried to pull it off, but then I thought I might damage it... You got any idea of what might be the problem?
Thanks in advance
At some point they introduced a platter catch. You need to remove the bottom and look for a screw close to the bearing well. Fully remove the screw, and slide the catch away from the well.
@@ddarch88 Thank you Dave. I really appreciate you taking the time to write a response. Im not an expert on these things, and Im trying to be cautious when I decide to do something. After I finish lubricating the system, will I be able to put back this catch?
@@papertoyss yes, if you don't lose the screw 😊
@@ddarch88 😄 Trust me, I wont. Thank you very much for the valuable informations. I've seen all your videos. Keep up the good work.
Take care!
Is this spring kit still available?
