Why don't you clean and lube it, give it a go before rewiring it? New belt is a no brainer, just get a high quality one or the speed will be off. I think Thatcher in Germany sells them.Do you know what tonearm is on it?

To upgrade/repair or not...Thorens TD165
So I am the original owner of this TT. It hasn’t been used in 30years, but stored properly... I’m thinking about spinning vinyl again. I’m thinking about changing the tone arm wires and cables. I have a new belt. Assuming everything else is in good condition, is it worth putting a couple hundred bucks in it to get the wiring replaced? Then I will need recommendations for a cartridge and a phono preamp....or am i better served buying new for occasional use? The turntable has sentimental value and I would prefer to do the repairs. I appreciate any guidance this group can offer..
Thanks...
