I´m looking for an old Thorens Reference TT, just like the one in the pic.
Doe any one happen to have one laying around unused?   |

Yeah, yeah, that's nice. But I think I'd have to try to find a stacker spindle on eBay to make it perfect for me!

I doubdt you could do that, Tom, this being a very lightweight TT it would crush under the weight of more than two LP´s Jorge |

I understand that two arms are needed for stereo (one for left, one for right), but what of the third tone arm? Is that for those early experimental stereo recordings with a center channel?

I knew it! Aluminum foil and plastic underneath all that glitter. Save yourself some money and buy a BSR and lots of vinyl!

I know it's not electric, but I probably have a motor around here somewhere......

Thanks Larry. If I turn that contraption upside down I´ll get me a pretty large and heavy platter, which should make for a steady rotation, which would be unequaled in pitch control, which in turn makes for a very stable soundstage, which makes....never mind, just thanks, anyway. Jorge |
