Thorens TD160HD Turntable, custom modified by George Merrill of Merrill-Williams & Merrill-Scillia Turntable Fame. Table sold new for around $2100 before the Merrill Mods were added. These are rare and hard to find.Great condition. Solid acrylic one piece platter with special dampening material added by Merrill. This replaced a cork sheeting on the platter. The bottom cover is machined with a spiral groove and filled with a dampening material. The motor mount is modified with a special metal strut to stabilize in all three axis of motion. The acrylic arm fitting was used with an Ortofon 212RS tonearm, that has been transferred to another table and is not included. The dust cover was modified to allow use of the Ortofon arm, where the counterweight projected out the rear. The turntable boss fitting can accommodate other tonearms and mates well with a Mayware Formula 4 Tonearm that I have for sale on another auction. Includes box and manuals. US sales only to Paypal Verified address.
