Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

would you be working with a Thorens.......?

Thorens supplied shim kits with their turntables that were outfitted with the TP16 tonearm (and its variants) Even though Thorens made it easy to adjust vta at the base mounting, the owners manual instructed the user to use shims to adjust the cartridge height off the headshell in conjunction with a supplied alignment fixture. This fixture was used to adjust overhang and azimuth as well. The fixture is NLA and hard to find used.

If you would like to abtain an oem shim and screw kit I think Rolf Kelch Electronics still supplies these. Also, if you are in Britain you might give Technical and General a call.

Technical and General: PO Box 53, Crowborough East Sussex, England TN6 2BY, Tel: 01892 654534, email: technical-and-general@fsmail.net, Dennis Burke, for parts and supplies for older Garrards, Thorens etc.
