Hi all,
I have a Thorens - model TD 318 (I bought it around 1985). It's not been used much in the last 15-20 years and is in need of a tune-up (a good cleaning for sure and perhaps a new belt and cartridge/stylus). I'm wondering if I should just junk it and go get something a little more current. I'm not an audiophile but certainly am starting to improve my gear (just got a Marantz SA 8001 cd/sacd player and will be getting an int amp soon, too). Is this old Thorens worth the money to clean it up or is it just an old dog that needs retirement?
Thanks very much for your opinions.
Geoff
