Restored THORENS TD160 MKII in pear wood

Our record players are lovingly put together and assembled by hand. Each of them is unique and differs in model, color or materials used. The high-quality housing parts are restored or newly manufactured using qualified craftsmanship. Electronic and mechanical components are checked and replaced. A final endurance test completes the complex work.


The housing consists of solid 25mm pear wood side panels and a 16mm thick base of the same material. M6 threaded sockets are embedded in the base. These enable different device feet to be easily installed. The connection panel for all required cable connections is located on the back.

Ortofon OM5E cartridge. The OM5E is a full-fledged pickup. It impresses with its temperament and neutral basic character. This pickup has an elliptical grind, which enables balanced and distortion-free music reproduction.

Audio cable. Branded cable. Ready-made analog audio cinch cable for cabling turntables! Thanks to the particularly high-quality inner conductor made of oxygen-free copper (OFC), this quality cable ensures true-to-life signal transmission. Contact security and corrosion protection are guaranteed by the 24 carat gold-plated plug contacts. The cable has a neutral sound with good dynamics and spaciousness.

The turntable plate has a matt black finish. This gives the record player a lasting and discreet elegance.

Record weight. With a weight of 310g, it ensures that the record lies flat on the turntable and plays smoothly. The plate weight is in the "medium weight class" and builds up just enough pressure to dampen the vibrations of the plate without putting any strain on the bearing bush or the motor. The suspension of the sub-chassis was readjusted accordingly. By using it, you increase the sound performance of your system.

The device feet are spikes made of chrome-plated stainless steel. To ensure that the record player is decoupled from low-frequency vibrations, the chassis is equipped with height-adjustable spikes. Resonances and feedback are thus effectively prevented.

The drive belt is manufactured according to the original Thorens specifications (same material and dimensions).
