Thorens TD160 B11 modification advice

Hi I'm new to the asylum but am pleased to be involved. I am looking for any advice about making improvements to my recently purchase (used) Thorens TD 160 B11 It came with AT1100 arm and Ortofon VMS20E cartridge. I was amazed at how good it sounded and realised that some mods had already been made including
base board removed, extra damping, some partial drilling to underside of platter to remove some weight or inbalance I assume.
I am sure that I could get even better performance so would be grateful if anyone could give me some tips. I suspect I could improve the cartridge and would welcome any advice on choice (up to £150)
The deck sits on a piece of marble which is inset into a hi fi entertainment unit
Other equipment is Sugden A21 ai amp, Ruark Sabre 111 speakers bi wired
Many thanks
