ITEM IS SOLD AS IS AND PRICED TO SELL! ALSO SEE OTHER THORENS KITS IN MY ITEMS FOR SALE!This kit resolves the usual problems of hearing a "pop" upon switching on, record spinning in opposite direction and motor vibrations due to out of spec electronic components. For completeness sake, the extra (not always present) 2 electrolytic capacitors on the PCB board are also supplied with this kit.
Good practices dictate that
these old capacitors should be replaced. The other capacitors present in the Turntable are
not
supplied because
advanced test equipment may be required to adjust for proper functionality!
This is a popular kit (because of price, comparatively) but you need to read the description to understand why it is more expensive and justified and others have used it with great success! I have based my kits on such high levels of reliability, functionality and safety!
This kit is generally used for both 220 Volts as well as 110 Volts AC Mains Voltage because it does solve the power supply problems required for the pcb board operation. The arrangement in your Thorens may be different, so if in doubt send me the photos. DO NOT MESS WITH OTHER COMPONENTS UNLESS THEY ARE FAULTY!!!
This kit is for a basic refurbishment that does not require more than simple basic skills which include: Unplugging the equipment from electrical outlet before opening it and whilst working on it! All the electrolytic capacitors have polarity (+ and -) so please pay attention to that.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ITEM IS FOR ONE TURNTABLE ONLY!
THESE ARE DROP IN REPLACEMENT PARTS. YOUR LOCAL REPAIR MAN OR REPAIR SHOP CAN INSTALL THE KIT IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH ELECTRONICS.
Free shipping by registered mail is included in the price!
Very important information before you start: Do not try to unsolder the old parts because you will most likely damage the plastic tag board….just snip the old components off with a wire cutter and solder the new parts on top. It is a well documented fact that people have damaged tag boards and transformer windings by applying too much heat in an attempt to remove old components in vintage equipment. Also, you must use solder that contains lead otherwise the solder joints will NOT bond with the old solder! However, it is safe to desolder these components when they are on a PCB board!
The photos showing turntable parts is for illustration purposes only, as you will only get the 3 capacitors.
Also, check my other capacitor and resistor
kits for refurbishment or repair of the QUAD amplifier and THORENS turntables..
Important information component values:
C112: One 1000uF
40V Exceptional Quality AUDYN ERGF ELKO axial electrolitic capacitor for PCB powersupply.
C113: One 47uF 50V Endurance Quality Panasonic Electrolytic Capacitor.
C114: One 100uF 63V Endurance Quality Panasonic electrolytic Capacitor.
C118 & C119: 22uF 50V Endurance Quality Panasonic electrolytic capacitor suitable for power supplies. These are not always present on the TD 104 boards but required for the TD 105 boards.
The 2ml Silicone Oil in the syringe is for servicing the cue lift mechanism with the 100000cSt fluid as per service manual instructions.
This is a high quality kit consisting of quite expensive individual and identical or Safety Concious replacements (to the originals).

As per photo, no instructions, no accessories and not boxed! These are surplus to my needs because I had to buy a decent quantity of them to compensate for shipping costs! Measuring ruler and multimeter are NOT included!!
Item has been tested, so no returns!!!
Please look at photos before bidding!!
Returns not accepted, because item has been checked with a multimeter!
