  • In 2017 I had my 1964 Thorens TD-124 turntable and SME arm restored by Greg and the fine craftsmen at STS Turntables in Tennessee. This turntable sat on a closet shelf for nearly three decades before I shipped it to STS. www.classicthorens.com Music by Jim Brock from Tropic Affair, available from iTunes and Reference Recordings.

    I just got my first TD124/3009 in just about the same shape as yours was found. I have recently gone through the motor, lube all the pivots, and cleaned the tonearm to almost your sparkle. I also seem to have the same Plinth system and like you wanna keep it. What style were the grommets between the base and mounting board? STS does amazing work! Could I also ask what it cost?
    Many Thanks,
    Ken

    A lovely rebuild and thanks for sharing. I have a TD 124 Mk2 that’s about to have an overhaul , I think it’s only fair after 51 years of making fantastic music! As I’m in the U.K. the ‘local’ experts are Hanze HiFi in the Netherlands so a continental weekend trip is on the card’s. Could you tell me the album that you played for the video please?

      I dealt with Greg and they did a great job! He kept me up on progress with occasional photos and returned my TD-124 in new condition. That was a good five years ago and it's still running beautifully.

    Is there a fuse anywhere inside the turntable? I have my dads old turntable which was working fine before it went into storage and is excellent condition. Twenty years later its completely dead. Any ideas what I could check for? Thanks

      STS did my rebuild and many of these photos were taken by them during the process. I recommend their work as professional and fairly priced. Enjoy your TD-124!

      A long way from the U.K. Would probably cost a fortune to have sent there and back! Might have to look for other options. Thanks for the info!@@MarkRWilliams
