Thorens TD-150 Mk2 Säljes. Finns i Gävle Sommarpris 1000kr
Unknown condition at kr 1,000 makes this look like a strong buy, and very likely below the usual used-market level for a TD 150 Mk2. Recent asking and sold examples cluster more often around roughly kr 1,600 to kr 4,000, with many clean or functional units landing in the kr 1,500 to kr 3,500 zone, so this is priced on the low side.
That low entry is what makes it interesting: the TD 150 Mk2 is a proper suspended-chassis classic with a big upgrade path, and even a modestly freshened example can sound very musical. The real value is in a complete, working deck with arm, platter, and dust cover; if those are intact and the motor suspension is healthy, this is the kind of vintage buy that rewards a patient enthusiast.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Thorens traces its origins to 1883 in Sainte-Croix, Switzerland, where Hermann Thorens founded the company in the Jura mountains to craft music boxes and mechanical musical devices. Pioneering audio technology soon followed, with early cylinder phonographs, horn gramophones, and record players that established Thorens as an innovator predating the modern vinyl record. By the 1920s, breakthroughs like electric gramophone motors and magnetic pickups propelled international success, employing over 1,200 workers and embodying Swiss precision engineering. Ownership shifts, including a 2018 acquisition by Gunter Kürten, former Elac head, have revitalized the brand while honoring its 140-year heritage.
Thorens remains synonymous with high-quality turntables, its core focus since iconic idler-drive models like the TD-124 and TD-160 defined the golden age of analog playback. Vintage enthusiasts prize these for their robust plinths, precise motors, and timeless performance, while modern lines such as the 900 series introduce air-suspended sub-chassis for superior isolation. Brief forays into receivers, cassette decks, and speakers in the 1970s yielded to an unwavering commitment to vinyl reproduction, encompassing both LP and 78rpm formats.
Positioned as a high-end analog specialist, Thorens commands respect among discerning audiophiles and vintage collectors for its blend of historical pedigree and contemporary refinement. No longer strictly Swiss-manufactured but retaining that ethos, it occupies a niche boutique space—elevating turntables beyond entry-level to precision instruments that rival top competitors. Under Kürten's stewardship, Thorens thrives in the vinyl resurgence, delivering musical authenticity that serious hi-fi buyers demand.
