Restore your vintage Thorens to its original glory with the "TP90-Rest" Precision Tonearm Clip.
If you own a classic Thorens TD 320 or TD 2001, you know the frustration of a broken arm rest. After decades of use, the original factory plastic becomes brittle and snaps, leaving your expensive TP90 tonearm—and your even more expensive cartridge—vulnerable to sliding across the platter. Our custom-engineered TP90-Rest is a direct-fit replacement designed to be stronger and more reliable than the original.
Modern Materials for a Vintage Classic We’ve redesigned the internal "clamping" geometry to provide a satisfying, secure snap that holds the arm firmly in place during transport or cleaning, yet releases smoothly when you're ready to play. Unlike generic "universal" clips, this was modeled specifically from the original Thorens specifications to ensure the arm sits at the correct factory height and angle.
Key Features & Benefits:
Exact OEM Dimensions: Precision-modeled to fit the unique diameter of the TP90 tonearm tube.
Reinforced Tension Arch: We’ve thickened the stress points where the original clips typically fail, ensuring a long-lasting repair.
Non-Marring Finish: The interior of the cradle is smooth-finished to ensure it never scratches or scuffs the finish of your tonearm.
Easy "Drop-In" Installation: Designed to fit into the existing mounting hole on your Thorens arm-board. (Reuses your original mounting screw/nut where applicable).
Preserves Value: A broken arm rest is a major detractor for vintage gear value. This simple fix restores the professional look and safety of your deck.
Usage Scenarios: The essential "save" for Thorens collectors, hi-fi restoration experts, and anyone who has recently purchased a vintage TD-series turntable with a missing or taped-together arm clip.
Note: This listing is for the Replacement Arm Rest only. (Thorens Turntable and Tonearm not included).
