Well, at least one project is almost done...

I've been restoring a Thorens TD124 for a few months. Finally looking like a turntable again and it sounds fantastic! Still a few things to do, like build an arm board so I can mount my Sony PUA-7 tone arm.

Well, that's cool. I need to fire up my Technics.

Shake It Up.

That's very cool. Lately, I've been getting more and more interested in smaller, more manageable restoration projects.

...and I'll just mention that I have around 4500 albums, just in case there's something you're looking for.

I have an SL 1200 as well. For just enjoying records, that may be the best table ever made. I once heard an analogy that an SL 1200 is a better turntable than a TD124 in the way a Camry is a better car than a 60s Ferrari. I'd say that's pretty much right. I absolutely love this Thornes, but if I had to get to work on time, I'd pick the Technics.

One of my many Thrift Store scores!

This has been a very satisfying project. Can do it indoors at the kitchen table with a couple of screwdrivers and a pair of pliers. Total spent is less than the Kaaz 2 way I bought for the Celica.

I don't have them catalogged yet, still working on sorting & pricing them all. Tons of old country, a fair amount of classic & 80's rock/pop. An absurd quantity of weird 50's/60's pop/orchestra. There's quite a bit of spiritual, choral, classical, etc. I also have a few hundred 45's and 78's too.

Neat! I have a Thorens TD145 myself.

I approve of this project

I have a mid-'80s Bang & Olufsen Beogram 1800 in storage, and about 800 LPs. Needs a cartridge and probably a new belt at this point. I loved that turntable - it was steady as a rock, and so gentle on the records.
