Very RARE Thorens TD-224 Turntable

[donnyp1966]

Is that a cleaning brush on the side of the changer arm?

[MrMagotto75]

Compliments. You must be proud to own such a rare turntable in such a wonderful conditions.

I look at this and am amazed at how they work.

Some say that changers damage records, but simply playing a record damages it!

Now what I do is find something that had a cheap changer in it that is not worth repairing, all in ones who have a plastic bit of junk on top.

I remove the changer and fabricate a bracket and connectors and drop an entire laptop in its place.

One opens it like a record player dust cover, and play music in a far better sound system than any laptop computer has.

I think my grandmother had one of these when she lived in Colombia. She told me the records slid from one side to the other (kind of like on a jukebox).

[Rinxette1]

@sugarlumpie Why would anyone ever want to hear that group.

[BlackBearTexas]

I've never seen one of these in my life, awesome!

[nicolaj0154]

does it play 78's well?,

[force311999]

like a old Wurlitzer jukebox

[Rinxette1]

Great table. I sold one of my two on Feebay and it was destroyed in shipping to England. I kept the mint one and I use it to this day. They are great

[PKamargo]

I just can't understand how does that arm holds the record...

[rc52]

Wow, I've seen a lot of automatic turntables but not like this one. They must put a lot of thought to construct to construct it.. I'm curious, what year was that table made? I looks elegant, thanks for sharing.

@rc52 1963

That's a very cool hi-end turntable!

[cascioman]

very cool! how does it grab the record???

[SeeburgMusic]

Wow really neat... not very gentle or graceful! I wouldn't think a Thorens would be so clunky! It's so ridiculous that's why it's cool.

[IdontneedanIpod]

You just made my day

[mrrk]

so cool

[RealScheese]

Cool. with EMT 929 arm!!

[cirederf3]

@RealScheese no, it's a thorens BTD 12 s, but that's true: it looks very very similar...

[rockabillycat1954]

Which Ventures album was that? It sounds very familiar. By the way, that is the coolest turntable I've ever seen... I'm incredibly jealous of you right now. Very nice.
