I have a chance to make an offer on one or both of a pair of Thorens turntables. One is a TD165 and the other is a TD166 mkII. There are issues with both, ie. missing belt but the motor turns, missing power lead so can't be tested, broken hinge on cover, etc. But nothing major is missing. I used to have a TD112 back in the day and liked it a lot but I have no idea how good these later ones are. There are one or two heavily modded and restored examples asking top end money on the net but I'm certainly not in that spending level.
What would you offer? And would it really be worth time and effort to do them up?
