Bought a Thorens 147 turntable which came with a non-original adaptor for 9volts dc. Am in fear of damaging the motor should this voltage be too high and would appreciate very much information on the right dc voltage for this Thorens model. Thanking you in advance as I could then put this turntable into service without worry.
Thank you, manualblock. Just saw the piece of paper pasted on the tt chassis when the platter was removed. It says something like 15v or more but it also has a wave sign(ac?). Just wondering what that means but I am getting a 16volter as you indicated. Or one as close as possible if I can't?
Much obliged, manualblock. Not good news. Got an adaptor for 15v dc because a 16v was not available. Plugged it in and nothing happened. Thought unit was faulty and measured it with a digital meter. Reading was consistently at 14.99v dc. Tried the adaptor which came with the 147 and the tt worked, even played some records. Measured this non-original adaptor and reading was bad at -3.6mv dc. I'm told this means it's faulty. Knowing next to nothing about electronics, I don't know what to make of all this. Sorry, manualblock, I know you said don't use that adaptor.
