Seriously stajo, its been at least twenty five / thirty years since I last looked at these Thorens 150 TTs and I have forgotten the difference in springs. [I also bought a job lot of 3 'Source' TTs when the company stopped - they were not bad being much sturdier in build. I got with them a bag of 'spares', some of which may be Thorens interchangeable.]
Whatever you do don't spend more than peanuts on the 150s...better to put them on fleabay and get a Lenco. The two most common models are the 72 and 75 - as ZM sagely advises. The idler problem is often found, but you can now buy new replicas which are an improvement on the original. Read the site I recommended in earlier post.

Thanks Brian. I wont overdo it. I must walk the walk, like you did
Looking at the inside, very simple. It seems improvable but one never knows. Self resonance freqs can come where you dont want them. Multitasking with some x-over makeover.

I can tell when you are using babelfish because **** always comes out ook...
(ps - I put the asterisk marks in myself to save the spell checker the trouble. I don't know who that guy is that does that but I figure that he's already busy enough.)
Sooooo - this is a crossover that works when the Mrs. is preparing meals?
I have big old (actually new) induction stove - can I use it for crossover? Perhaps for sub-woofer????
Da dachshunds say that this idea is nutz.....

Bit pre-occupied........now empty headed! [Going for my first general anesthetic in 60+ years on 16th. and to have my hernia packed back to where it used to be!! But this time behind a Kevlar shield
