Platine vinyle THORENS TD145 MK II avec cartouche Grado ZT+ fonctionne mais a besoin de mode fonctionner

THORENS TD145 MK II Turntable w/ Grado ZT+ Cartridge

Works but Needs Work...

Actually works well, see the last photo showing the very low 0.10% WOW measurement, holding speed very consistent.

Cueing up and down is nice and smooth. Cartridge sounds great.

HOWEVER, the motor shaft seems to be bent and the belt pulley "wobbles" through every revolution. It holds speed very good, listening and feeling the table as it is turning, no wobble or vibration is heard or felt.

Another problem is that the "end of record sensor" is out of adjustment and picks up the tonearm about 1" too early.

Notice the black vinyl around the base peeling and the corner of the dust cover broken out.

SO given the above consider this TT for "Parts or Repair"
