At €1,200, this is a strong deal: it sits just below the comparable listings’ €1,199 25th percentile and well below the €1,560 median. For an excellent-condition example, that is bargain territory rather than merely fair pricing.
The TD 126 MK III is a particularly desirable Thorens: its suspended chassis, electronically regulated DC-servo belt drive, three speeds, and excellent isolation give it unusually stable, quiet, refined performance. The built-in lift and automatic functions add welcome usability, while the platform responds well to a good cartridge and careful setup. Before buying, confirm that speed control, suspension, tonearm lift, and cartridge wiring all work properly; on a deck of this age, operational completeness matters more than minor cosmetic marks. If those checks pass, €1,200 looks like a very worthwhile opportunity.
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.
