Headshell interest here.
Price reduced
Still headshell hungry.
You are still first on the list if it doesn’t go as one package 
I saw this in the flesh recently, it’s absolutely mint. Whoever buys it will love it.
Bump for this lovely turntable
Am travelling up to Birmingham on 14th November if that helps with logistics, and am open to offers.
Final reduction before ebay
So, speak to me about this one! I know next to nothing about these old Thorens decks. What makes idler wheel different? Better? Worse?
Can you give me the largest dimension front to back including any depth needed for cables etc.
Does it take a standard headshell? Does it come with a standard headshell?
What kind of tonearm cable does it need
It is a belt driven idler
Good write up here
36 cm front to back
Plus Puresound Tenuto platter upgrade
FR64S takes any standard headshell (not included) but Arche headshell is available.
I have had severall offers for the headshell, the arm and the tenuto platter but that would just leave me with the base unit so would rather keep together.
Is it just me or does the arm Counterweight stick out the back further than the plinth?
Thanks, is a no go sadly.
I have 35cm max front to back depth. I don’t mind a little overhang at the front, but to accommodate the arm movement I’d need more than I’d be happy with here.
No probs, thanks for your interest
Not at all, it’s a lovely think and along with the garrard 401, something I had previously considered. I guess a different arm and slightly slimmer plinthed one might work
It is a shame you are not closer as I would have been happy to bring it round for a demo and to see how it fitted in the space.
The overhang at the back would not get worse than the rest position in play.
There is 3.5cm from the front of the plinth to the front of the front feet
It’s amazing how few forum goers tend to be Scottish 
Replaced with a better pic
