How time flies. I was 18. The 1974 RS catalog has them listed on page 24 (see link below). And they were sold with a "Lifetime Guarantee!" Just like those "Lifetime Guarantee" vacuum tubes!
Just finishing up the restoration on a Thorens TD-125. This thing is a tank. It weighs just under 40 lbs. with the arm. I think this is Sapele veneer. Not entirely sure because the pieces were in my leftovers box. It turned out darker than I really wanted. Still, it looks much better than when I picked it up a few weeks ago. I planed down some white oak for a new arm board so I could mount this Acos Lustre GST-1 arm. I added a plate on the back for RCAs & Gnd. That banana jack is just too big, so I'm on the lookout for something more appropriate. I'm waiting on new aluminum switch covers and a belt to arrive, but it's spinning LPs like a champ!
