Hi, my Uncle recently asked if I would like 2 turntables that had been stored at his radio station. I said sure. I am trying to figure out if they are worth the little bit of work they would need and who is the manufacturer. What I know about them is: 1: they have rim drive, 2: they have to have an enclosure built around them, 3: model # is 12-C, 4: s/n is A6281M 5: They were installed in 77' 6: Mostly aluminum, 7: Need tonearms. I cannot find anything on the internet about these turntables.
Here is my problem, I just bought Paradigm 40's and after some long term listening I havs concluded that the are a little lacking in the high/mid range. What I am looking for is a slighly softer highs and fuller more detailed mids.
I read a post by K. Rubinson where he mentioned both but I couldn't find any info on the logistics the difference and I thought this might be a possible answer.
Hi. I'm new to the forum. I wonder if anyone could help me out with the problems with my belt-driven Thorens TD160 turntable. When it's powered on, motor runs fine, platter spins seemingly good. However, there's hum from speakers and when I brush the needle of the cartridge, no signal is heard (the cartridge works fine with another turntable). With ohm-meter, checked RCA audio cables, checked tonearm cables, they all work and don't seem to have been grounded.
What possibly is the problem?
