Description from the seller

Thorens TD 104 MK II - Made in Germany - Collector's Condition - ADC QLM 30 MK III Cartridge

Lot Description
In this auction sits an exceptional Thorens TD 104 MK II, a classic of high-fidelity produced in Germany. This specimen stands out for an extremely rare level of preservation, ideal for those seeking an authentic object that has never been tampered with.

Authenticity and Technical Condition Details:

Original Preserved: The plinth still bears the original factory label with transport instructions (in three languages), a detail that testifies to the meticulous care and historical integrity of this piece.
Original RCA Cables: The turntable is fitted with its factory original cables. As is typical of many vintage components, they may show slight contact sensitivity (solvable with a deoxidizing spray), but they have been kept to preserve the collectible value.
Safe Power Supply: Supplied with a modern new power supply (compatible) to ensure stable voltages and superior electrical safety compared to older vintage transformers.
Cartridge and Stylus: Equipped with an ADC QLM 30 MK III cartridge. The stylus (needle) is in excellent condition, ready to reproduce your records with a warm and faithful sound.
Electronic Controls: Touch-sensitive controls are perfectly responsive and red status LEDs are functioning. Fine speed adjustment via the integrated mirror strobe.

Aesthetics and Mechanics:

Dust Cover: Original, exceptionally glossy and transparent, with no scratches or cracks.
Mechanical: Aluminum platter and sub-platter are extremely clean, free from oxidation. Belt is intact and speed is stable.

Professional Shipping (Crated):

The packaging will strictly follow the era’s instructions: counterweight removed, platter removed and protected separately, tonearm locked. I will use specific anti-shock materials to ensure the turntable arrives exactly as you see it in the photos.
