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
Nice stuffs from The Netherlands 🥇
