Is it worth finding and buying a power supply, and cartridge for this turntable? I know nothing about it, other than it looks very nice (I don't think it has been played much and it does not apperar to have been abused)?
I do kinda hope you are kidding as far as is it worth it,cause oh yeah its worth it. I don't know what the power supply takes away from it, but its worth many many hundred.
No it is only worth about 20 dollars. However, being the saint of a person I am I will give you a hundred dollars for it!!!!! Hell yes, it worth keeping.
Never heard of the 3013R. Is it not a 3012R? I used the 3012, in the 80's, and it was a great tonearm (good to the last groove). The tonearm alone (3012) would be worth $500-$700+ (ballpark) if in fine condition. Sorry I am not familiar with the later Thorens decks.
Which power supply do you need? The external one is generic and simply supplies 16VAC to the internal one. The internal one is the complex/expensive one but I have a NOS one somewhere in the shop.
The Thorens is a pretty good TT, and the arm is a gem. The powersupply shouldn't cost more then 20 bucks, so choose a nice cartridge (SME tends to go pretty good with Ortofon cartridges) and you've got a great player.
