Thorens Turntables


I recently can across a E-Bay seller from Germany who sells refurbished Thorens Turntables. The company is Art Of Sound. The Tables are quite beautiful, Has anyone ever heard of this company. Are the tables rebuilt or are you paying for a pretty plinth.

Thanks I will look into Greg STS models. I much rather purchase from a US company.
so no one wrote some thing which related to the original questain

is it just a pretty plinth or is it a well down refurbished turntable 

is any one can answer that ? 
The seller obviously is reputable given his 100% positive feedback on over 4k transactions.  But I would suggest you simply contact them and just ask what is their definition of 'restored'?  New spindle bearings? Recapped? 

But keep in mind that the older TD Thorens series have issues with knocking and/or bent shaft motors that are no longer available new.
