EXPIRED WTB: Thorens 147 power Supply

[Lee_01]

Hi all.

 

I’ve got a Thorens 147 with an EU power supply that I’m looking to upgrade to a 3-pin AU one.

 

If anyone has one for sale or knows where to get one I’d love to hear from you.

 

Cheers,

Lee

apparently the Pro Ject Speedbox is compatible with 16V Thorens turntable motors

Hmmm. Interesting proposition. Unfortunately the reason I’m looking is cause shelf space is at a high premium so I’m trying to reduce where I can.

Still, tempting.

The AU version has two prongs 

It does not have an Earth prong 

It uses an A C / AC Adaptor - 240 AC to 12 V AC  ( not DC ) 

 

I have included two photos of my TD 147 unit for reference and to use the specs to help with the search

Funny - mine has different specs to that:

@Lee_01  The Euro model is 220 V

 

But I can confirm that my power supply spins the platter at true speed on the TD 147

Is the voltage difference significant? Seems to be a few adapters out there for 16v too

I am not certain 

Only to say that Thorens may have changed specs as time went on 

That is specs on the board to accommodate different voltages 

So it’s best to buy like for like or ask a Thorens expert

Isn’t the adaptor ac-ac? IMHO, it shouldn’t matter much. There should be an onboard ac-dc converter that will take a range of input voltages within limits.

 

at least this is the case for my td320
