Up for sale is an absolutely gorgeous Thorens TD-124 that has been completely refurbished as well as a rare Schick 9 (9.6" tonearm). Motor has been rebuilt. Paint is in amazing condition. About as good as it gets with these 50+ year old wonders. The following upgrades are included: - Tonearm clasp added to Schick tonearm, as the stock wooden pillar is useless and dangerous; a little bit of wear on the tonearm

- Main bearing brass end cap
- New main bearing bushings
- New step pulley bearing bushings
- New strobe bulb
- Grounded power cord
- Schopper belt
- Brand new rubber decoupling mushrooms
- CLD plinth with a Palisander veneer (one small blemish on clear coat, and I had to router out a bit on the inside where the idler wheel arm mechanism sat; can't be seen unless you remove the tt)
- Gem Dandy Decoupling Feet Now, here's where it gets special. I have a ton of spare parts, including an additional CLD plinth with a hardwood walnut shell. So with this purchase you'll also receive: - Original manual and plinth template
