z4j Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Hello. I wanted to start here first since I got such excellent information on the CF-3s and now new Outlaw reciever. I'm hoping to pick up a nice, used--properly working turntable. Doesn't have to be the best, just something good to listen to with my working class set-up :-) I'd like to stay under $200. Please let me know if you have anything that would match up nicely with my CF-3 and Outlaw. Thank you all very much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACM Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I've got a nice Thorens TD160 (Mk1) with TP16 arm and a hardly used Shure M97xe cart.Original Teak plinth, no cover (guy I purchased it from had it in a cabinet. New belt and fresh Phil Wood oil in the spindle/thrust bearing cavity. The table works flawlessly and sounds great, however, if you have bouncy floors you will be tip-toeing across the room when playing so it doesn't skip. These suspension tables really work best sitting on a wall mount. If you go that route, you'll have no issue. I'll let her go for 200.00, plus shipping. I can send or post pics if interested.

rpampt Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Technics SL 1500. Can let go for $90 plus shipping. No headshell or cartridge. Cables were replaced previously. One connector is a little wonky, but I can repair that before shipment. PM me for more details if interested. Where are you located? Might find a table local and save on shipping.

z4j Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Thank you for the replies. Please keep them coming. Rpampt- many are tellimg me to go with a Tech, but I need to go plug and play with this project as I have zero time right now--thank you though. ACM- could you post a few photos please? Have a great day :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglaz Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Could you provide pictures. I may be interested if the table is still available. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I second the Thorens, but like said if you have bouncy floors you will need to go with a wall mount. I have a td166 and ended up building a wall mount for it. Where are you located maybe some one can help you find one on your local cl. The technics are a good table and a great starter. Good luck.

rpampt Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 The table would be plug and play, provided you have a headshell and cartridge/stylus. I may be able to come up with something (headshell/cart combo) for a few more $$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwphoto Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Whoever gets this TT (Thorens TD 160) will be happy. That's the table I use & its super! I know there are better tables out there - but for $200? No brainer. :-) I'm just sayin'. OT - I use a Goldring ELECTRA cart & like the combo! Frank W.
