Yahoo has an auction site. have not looked in a long time but I will take a look in the AM. I am NOT a big fan of yahoo either, their business ethics do not measure up in my estimation.

The best approach is to find a Thorens TD-125 Mk-II and make a new arm board that will clear the 16" platter. It has been done in the past and works very well. You want to find the turntable without an arm to keep the cost down. You will need an arm with an extended main tube.

They are going to cut your fees on one end but more then make them up on the other, and then not allow you to trash a theiving, crazy, or fruicake type buyer? Sounds like some nut has taken over this organization!and put it on the road to destruction. I may just decide to sell all my stuff on craigslist. The last few times I have tried it, I got the price I was asking, the buyers were great, they came and picked the stuff up, and It didn't cost me a thing.!!
