Tonearm/Cartridge combo for Thorens TD 150 MkII

I recently stumbled onto a pristine Thorens TD 150 MKII at a thrift store and bought it for practically nothing, ($10). I would like to upgrade the tonearm and cartidge on it for a modest price if that's possible. I don't know what arms will fit it and what modestly priced arms would sound better with it than the arm that is standard. Any advice or suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanks

Hello, I have a TD150mkII I put a Rega RB250 on it and made a armboard out of .375" mdf, you can buy a new RB250 for $200.00 right on Audiogon and it's very easy mount, dill one 23mm hole,Good Luck rkay5

The Thorens TD150mkII is a great table to tweak, on my td150 all underside has cork for better damping ,remove speed selector and changed the motor to one from a TD146 that is a 16V~motor and use a Pro-ject Speed Box that drop's 60Hz to 50Hz to make the motor run more quiet and gave me push button speed control,Rega RB250 arm Rega Super Bias cartridge,Ringmat 330XLR.For a poor worker like me I now have a very Highend turntable that sound great with my Creek 4330R and Creek A43Biamped.Robert
