Skivspelare i perfekt skick, med en pick up/nål av märket Nagaoka MP-110. Säljes enbart på grund av flytt till lägenhet. Finns att hämta och titta på i Vellinge alternativt i Staffanstorp.
At kr 7,000, this sits below the kr 7,000–kr 9,759 middle range and well under the kr 9,561 median, so it reads as a strong buy rather than just “fair.” For a TD 126, that is the kind of asking price that leaves room for service and still lands in good-value territory.
The appeal is the deck itself: Thorens’ suspended-chassis tables have a well-earned reputation for solid pitch stability, musical drive, and an easy path to very serious analog playback when set up properly. If the arm, speed control, and suspension are behaving, this is the sort of used turntable that can outperform many newer budget decks. At this price, the main thing to confirm is completeness and functional health, since missing parts or neglected service matter more than cosmetic wear here.

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.
