Thorens Replacement Comb Needed

Charles, Thorens was bought, lock, stock, and barrel, by Reuge Music quite some years ago. And Reuge, so far as I know, so fears compet- ition that they refuse to sell replacement parts - nor would their new parts fit an older Thorens box, I think. I was talking to Nancy Fratti at Panchronia Antiquities, and apparently they changed some- thing about the combs that made it impossible for newer 30-note disk players (which is what I assume you are talking about) to play the older Thorens disks. Your best bet is to contact Nancy or Joe Roush about repairing the broken teeth - which costs about $75-$100 a tooth, if I recall correctly.

regards,
Larry Smith
