Any suggestions on what to look for and what might be improved on this TT?
Thanks...

Good turntable.
Check the Thorens forum, or type TD-150 in the searchbar.

Cheers,
Alec
Keep them spinning.

It is pretty straightforward, but the best thing that Linn did that is different was to make the armboard wider. I would do that for sure.

What arm and cart does it have? - money may be better spent here.

Why would you be so keen to do that Mosin ?

I have been running 2 TD150s for years, SME 3009 and TP13A, and never found the armboard to be a problem... lot of work required to change it.

Do you have a different arm you want to use that doesnt fit on the standard armboard ?
