To help you get started on your specific restoration project, please let me know:
Locate the adjustment screw on the magnet arm assembly beneath the chassis.
Reassemble the bottom cap tightly. Pour high-quality Thorens-specification bearing oil (typically a higher viscosity oil like ISO VG 68 or factory-equivalent) into the well. Slide the platter spindle back into the well slowly. Let gravity pull it down; forcing it down can trap air or damage the seals. 5. Pitch Control and Mechanical Linkages thorens td124 service manual

The factory Thorens TD124 service manual is a technical document. It was originally written for trained bench technicians, meaning it assumes a baseline level of mechanical competence. Slide the platter spindle back into the well slowly
Attempting to service a TD124 without the official schematic and service documentation can result in permanent damage to rare, expensive parts. The service manual provides:
However, a machine built like a fine Swiss watch requires precise maintenance. Over the decades, factory lubricants dry up, rubber components degrade, and mechanical tolerances drift.
