Nice decks, my turntable of choice. The small noise at start is normal . It’s the pulley clutch engaging. If you examine the plastic part of the pulley , you’ll see it has some degree of movement around the brass section. I use Platanclene printer roller restorer on mats btw
Really nice turntable. If I wan't refurbish platter mats, I use products for rubber seals for cars. They make the platter mats smooth and look like new. Kind regards from Germany......
@@millervintagehifi3034 Well, theoretically there might be a chance when you put the record on the wet platter thats full of the product for rubber seals. But you don't do that this way. With a cloth you wipe away whats too much and let the platter mat dry a few hours. So in practice there shouldn't be any resedue that influences the record badly. I use these products for years and I never had bad experiences. But I am not a chemist, just an average guy who loves old turntables from the 70s. So theoretically I won't exclude any interaction. Is "interaction" the right english word in this context? Hope so.....Sorry, my english is getting worth because I don't use it daily any more...
You did'nt do anything to the dragging noise at the startup. 😳 There is a spring pushing the pulley against the plate attached to the motor spindle. You should lower that plate a bit.
My grandfather is trying to give me his , its a thorens td 320 mkii i think?? Problem is i have no idea how to use it so I'm trying to find videos but I don't understand anything in the videos for the life of me, or if it is even in working condition. He desperately wants to see it in use but i dont know how? Any tips ot anything at all?. I believe its all plugged in but she is not even spinning or anything🤦🤦 gosh i feel silly😂

While my intent was to keep this table, it has moved to a new home. I kind of regret selling, but I have too many tables in the stable :)

Does it leave any residue that makes its way onto the records? That would be my concern.

That was very clear and made perfect sense :)

Hi, can you show the power supply for this turntable? Thanks
It moved along quite a while ago.
Hi, interesting work.
What kind of oil did you use? A Thorens special oil? A generic oil?
A sewing machine oil?
Regards...
I use something called "Reel Butter" (just because I have some)...it's basically very similar to synthetic motor oil.

I actually figured that out much later on (this was my primary table for a bit). It’s since moved on to greener pastures.
I'd perhaps checked anti-skate and stylus force spring mechanism working ok.
This was a great turntable but found a new home some time ago :)

The belt is probably missing or has become goo. I suggest going out to vinylengine or audiokarma and creating a forum thread for help.
-and no courage to ask grandfather how his tt works?
