Wood is a natural product. Each frame differs in color and grain and is therefore unique in its own way. You can choose the frame for your turntable from images 1 (front view), image 2 (left side view) and image 3 (right side view). The other pictures are sample photos and show the entire turntable with different variations.


This turntable is available in 220V/230/ 50Hz or 110V/120/60Hz (for example USA).

The following work will be carried out: Revision of electronic and mechanical components, conversion or Installation of required components, new internal housing cabling (audio with "sommer cable"), new headshell cable, setting and balancing of the various speeds, setting and adjusting the suspension, checking and adjusting the tonearm and the cartridge, gentle cleaning and care of the entire record player, endurance test, acceptance and VDE safety test.

Housing: The housing is made of 40mm solid oak wood and a 16mm thick MDF base. The surface was oiled and polished several times. The connection panel for all required cables is located on the back. Four height-adjustable spikes made of chrome-plated stainless steel are installed on the bottom of the housing. The base is screwed to the frame and can be easily removed.

Ortofon OM5E cartridge: The Ortofon OM5E is a full-fledged pickup. It impresses with its temperament and neutral basic character. The OM5E features an elliptical stylus that allows for balanced and distortion-free playback.

Turntable: The turntable is made in five complex and time-consuming steps polished to a high shine.
The high gloss polish gives your record player a unique look. With surface sealing using a special protective coating to prevent repeated tarnishing and for a long-lasting shine.


Audio cable: Branded cable. Ready-made analog audio cinch cable for cabling turntables! Thanks to the particularly high-quality inner conductor made of oxygen-free copper (OFC), this quality cable ensures true-to-life signal transmission. Contact security and corrosion protection are guaranteed by the 24 carat gold-plated plug contacts. The cable has a neutral sound with good dynamics and spaciousness.

Drive belt: The drive belt is manufactured according to the original Thorens specifications (same material and dimensions).

Stainless steel record weight: With a weight of 310g, it ensures that the record sits smoothly on the plate and runs smoothly. This record weight is in the middle weight class. It builds up just enough weight to dampen the vibrations of the plate without putting any strain on the bearing bushes. The suspension of the Thorens sub-chassis was readjusted accordingly. By using it, you increase the sound performance of your system.
