Telecine Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Item: Thorens TD 145 MKII and Ortofon M20 FL Super Cartridge Location: Brisbane, QLD. Item Condition: Used, but in very good condition, 7/10 Reason for selling: Too many turntables Price: $500 plus shipping if required Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, Direct Deposit Extra Info: I have a Thorens TD 145 MKII. It has the TP16 II tone arm and TP 62 removable armwand. It is an early TD 145 MKII with the heavier and desirable 10mm bearing and metal sub-platter. It is in quite nice cosmetic condition and will be be supplied with a brand new unused genuine Thorens belt and service set of all the different oils needed (also unused). I am including an Ortofon M20 FL Super cartridge that I purchased from Thakker (also unused). This is a quality turntable and is as good as my Rega Planar 3. The Ortofon M20 FL Super cartridge is a quality MM cartridge and favourably compared by many to an Ortofon 2M Black. At this stage I do not want to split the TT and cartridge. I would prefer local pickup but would be prepared to ship if necessary. Pictures:

Telecine Posted July 9, 2011 Author Posted July 9, 2011 A little more information: The TD 145 MK II is the same turntable as the better known TD 160. The only difference is the TD 145 has auto-lift at record end. This is a useful feature to have if you fall asleep listening after one too many reds. I had intended to put this on a new plinth. They can be very attractive with the right plinth. I have attached an example of the type of plinth that I think would look good with this deck so that you can see the potential.
