New from Spindr - a one-of-the-kind Thorens TD-124

 

Still an idler-wheel design, with a solid aluminum plinth and bronze platter, using the same bespoke bearing of Spindr Garrard 301…

A new Spindr project:

we will start production of the update for your original Thorens TD-124 player in a limited first edition.

The original mechanism, motor and serial number will be re-used, so your iconic player will keep its beloved soul, and stay Idler-driven.

Only 21 players will be hand-build in the Netherlands in this edition, 9 players in the 9 inch version and 12 in the 12 inch version.

 

The upgrade includes:

 

Integrated heavy deck and plinth, machined from a solid aluminum block, soft coated on the inside

Oversized bronze heavy platter, coated in black

Cast Iron, nickel plated motor mount on an aluminum baseplate, fully detached from the deck

Motor overhaul by a well-known Garrard and Thorens specialist

Spindr’s conical cast iron, nickel plated bearing housing and matching spindle with low friction coating

Hidden deep in the bearing is a vibration absorber, our player's best kept secret up till now

Wooden board for your tonearm

For our strobe we generate an independent 50 Hz frequency, so that it always flashes at a constant and fixed frequency

Dampening feet supporting the plinth

 

The 21 limited editions include:

 

Your specific player will be personalized by having your name engraved

Each of the players will have a specific color, to be chosen by you

Aluminum anodized turntable platter mat

Matching 124 record puck

The player will be delivered in an exclusive flight case

The build of your unique player will be documented, and a photobook will be included in the case

 

Attached are some pictures of the TD-124 12 inch player upgrade by Spindr in their chosen colors.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us for any questions!

 

With kind regards, Huib & Dick
