Let us know how it sounds..Love my Thorens.:worthless
:thmbsp: I'm looking forward to seeing it John.
The original NES used a AC to AC adapter. Its rare but I've seen them.
Interesting table John, what do you think of that arm as compared to the earlier arms?
I'm very interested in hearing how this one performs, because we don't hear much about them on AK. Any idea what the tonearm is made of? How about the approximate year this is from?
It won't be performing any time soon. Motor is Kaputz. The rest is nice. I think it is from 1996?
Not 100% on that.
Arm is some kind of dark metal.
Thanks,
John.
I *think* (I'll check) that this is a common problem on this model, and my friend has at least a half-dozen of these around while he looks for after-market motors that may be compatible. I'll see what he's found out, if anything.

And I think (but I'm not sure) that this is where the reputation of Thorens started to go downhill. However, I wonder if in some cases, like this model, that's just because of a common problem like motor failure, but the turntable actually might have some potential. Or maybe not. I'd really like to know, but like he said, it won't be up and running any time soon.
