Aggie Klipsch Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 I would like to find a Thorens TD145-Mk2 belt. Mine is getting a little stretched as it takes longer to get up to speed. Once it gets going it is fine according to the mat where I use a flourescent light to measure the speed. I normally just spin the platter then turn it on and it gets to speed faster. By the way if you have not heard this TT then get a chance to cause it is just unbelievably quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 I wish I could help with the belt. I can inquire with my local shop if you like. I love my TD-165. They are great tables and, with the exception of the 124, can be had at very reasonable prices. I paid around $100 for mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dzapper Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 This guy has them $5.99: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3283&item=3056615535 If that isn't the right size he has the one you need. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Try this #. (718) 847-4289. This is where they get their thorens parts. Written in their rolledex was "Thorens of America" with that #. I think he's in NY. Hope that helps. - Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggie Klipsch Posted November 7, 2003 Author Share Posted November 7, 2003 Thanks for the info. I will be searching ebay this evening and calling the NY number this afternoon. Can't wait to play my MOFI albums with a new belt. Got an Ortofon 30 at Tweeter last week. Now to look for another Thorens and try an Infinity Black Widow tonearm. Back in the days it was one of the most recommended arms for Thorens. Crawfish Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
