Verkaufe einen TD 126 MK III in Mahagoni Furnier, montiert ist ein Stanton 881S Tonabnehmer der an dem Arm (TP16) einfach klasse spielt.
Die Haube hat am hinteren Rand 2 kleine Sprünge die kaum auffallen (siehe Foto).
Ich würde eine Begutachtung / Abholung vor Ort in Lüdenscheid favorisieren, kann ihn aber auch per DHL gut verpackt versichert versenden - das gerät wiegt 15 Kg, kostet bei DHL 18,99€.
Dann schließe ich aber nachträgliche Reklamationen kategorisch aus, Privatkauf und gekauft wie beschrieben und auf Fotos zu sehen.
Ich freue mich auf Angebote und launige wie seriöse Preisverhandlungen.
€495 is a strong buy against the current used market: it sits well below the €615 25th percentile and far under the €734 median, so this is priced like a bargain rather than a fair ask. Even compared with the upper end of the recent range, it leaves plenty of room before €865, which is where things start to look merely average rather than compelling.
That makes sense for a TD 126 MK III, which is one of Thorens’ more respected suspended-subchassis decks: musical, rhythmically convincing, and still very rewarding when properly set up. The upside here is value if the deck is complete and functioning cleanly, because these are beloved by analog buyers and can be excellent long-term keepers; I’d mainly want confirmation on arm, platter, dust cover, and service history, since age-related setup or maintenance matters more than cosmetics on a table like this.

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.
