Thorens TD-520, any value?

Dekay: You are correct, the arm is a SME 3012R.

Jvia: No, I was not kidding, I have no idea of the value or whether this model is considered a "good" turntable. I picked it up about a year ago, and have not yet found a power source for it (the back panel says Umin 18V AC / Imax 250 mA, 50/60 HZ, which might as well be Greek to me), or researched what might be a good match in a cartridge.

I have looked at the discussion forum threads, but there is almost nothing on this model. BTW th SN is 15901.

Steelhead: I might just take you up on your offer.

Dave.

kr4: unfortunately, the ignorance is not merely professed. By the "right connector", I assume you mean finding the right size to mate with the connection on the back of the turntable?

Best, Dave.

kr4: thank you for the tip. However, over the weekend I checked the back panel of the TT and it does call for an 18 V wall wart.
