Thorens TD 125 MK II with TP 16 tonearm - What's it worth?

Thanks Tim for the feedback, good to hear too regarding the weight. I'll check out the butyl tape as well. Are you saying to put it directly on the metal platter and then the rubber mat on top of the butyl tape?

Weighed the plater weight, it's 361 grams. Is that too much? 
Newb question regarding alignment - Should the stylus Physically touch the protractor?
He just emailed me a PDF when I inquired about the correct one to use on my TT since it wasnt listed as an option. It worked out great though, dead on alignment in less than 15ish minutes 😁

Any thoughts on the DIY platter weight I'm using? Any risk of damaging the TT?

I'm sure it has a name that I'm not familiar with, but there is a little platform that raises up/down when pushing stop/start, respectively. But it's what keeps the tone arm raised a couple mm above the LP when in the "stop" position

I failed to mention the arc protractor Ken Willis provided me is called the "AccuTrak". It seems like most quality protractors are made with smooth glass or acrylic surfaces so I was thinking I may fix a sheet of slick/glossy plastic lamination on...

Thanks all for the suggestions, very helpful info. Tim is correct though, I am beyond a being on a tight budget, and i likely can only get a turntable if the seller is willing to work out a trade for it, because as far as spending actual cash goes...

Speakers VERY close to wall - Cork board useful?
Williewonka - did you just slide the vent you bought into the speaker port? Or did you attach it in a particular way (modify speaker port, wrap tape to get correct diameter, etc.) I have some curved pvc tubing in the garage that may be about the r... 
Is sound quality effected by twist connecting 2 speaker wires together for extra length?
Thanks for chiming in, good info! How owe about the switch in that case? Should I bother removing it? Or would you say the switch definitely could effect the sound and should be removed?
