Question Newbie need advise --> Thorens TD316 Clean up

Hi.

After a visit at steenoe, some months ago, where he played some music, from a turntable, i simply had to, have this myself... so i started collecting part's for building the pass pearl mm-phonostage.

Recently i bought a Thorens TD316 (mkII ???), for 40Eur, which ofcause needed a 'clean-up'. I will post some picture's of it here, along with the tonearm, and i have some quistion's too :

1. Could any recommend a nice pickup for this ? (pricegroup around 100-120Eur.)

2. Where do i get a "protractor", and is this the thing for alligning the pickup ? (Heard that's its possible to download a printable)

Sure some more quistion's will come along the way...

First a picture of the tonearm...

one of the 500 series or OM ortofons should be a good choice for the low mass tonearm of your Thorens.
