Tired of the high price people are charging for old Thorens Headshells so I built my own. Works great with my Thorens TD-165 for a spare cartridge. Compatible turntables include:
TD-160, TD-165, TD-145 and TD-125 Variants (i.e. mkII)

I have to thank Jacques who gave me this idea and who designed a very good useable working model himself. In order to save time I used his mounting bullet and side panels to save on design time. The rest was done by meticulously tracing out an original headshell from various angles and doing my best to stitch it together and get it as accurate as possible. Of course I had to stray a slight bit from some original dimensions because of material differences and limitations of my capability as I am still quite new at 3D modeling. Improvement suggestions are welcomed. More details on the electrical side to follow when I have time (otherwise PM me if possible in this web site)
