Thorens TD 166 MK II Suspension?


I found a pretty close to mint one of these the other day for $12.
Anyway should the suspension springs be upgraded/replaced? Seems a bit bouncy to me. This deck was clearly cared for. It was in the original box. I bet it came out of a storage unit.
It works, and sounds great.
I have no personnel experience with Thorens.
My biggest complaint is the spindle. I have had to push records down onto the spindle.
It sounds great. Although I like my Luxman PD 272 very much.

I have one,sounds good is good.
Mine sounds better than my Rega 2,the 166 mk II is a very synergistic design,far better than most think.
A Sonus Green is at least 35 years old,A 166 with a new Shure 97xe will pee on your Lux.
