Thorens Idler Wheel + ground oring for td 124 (square profile)
We are pleased to introduce the new version of our idler wheel for the Thorens 124.
TD 124 Mk1, Mk2 , TD135, Td121, TD 184
It is enhanced with a sintered bronze bushing for even smoother rotation (lubricant is retained within the pores of the bronze ensuring higher reliability) and a center depression that better accommodates the locking collar in all series one units.
The wheel mounts a square profile oring (made from a special silicone mix) that has been ground directly on the wheel to avoid the risk of any warping or eccentricity of the wheel-oring assembly.
This ensures the perfect roundness of the wheel. Please be aware that once the pre installed oring is removed from the groove the perfect roundness of the assembly will be lost! The wheel comes with three spare orings (two of silicone and one made of rubber). These are regular cast orings of course that can be used when the ground oring has reached the end of its (long) lifecycle. The idler wheel comes with three spare orings ( two rubber and one silicone). Made in Italy by Audiosilente.
