Revive your classic Thorens turntable with a premium component upgrade designed to address common motor and power-supply failures. Over time, original factory capacitors dry out or short, leading to smoking resistors, unwanted hum/noise, or the motor spinning backwards or failing to turn entirely.

This kit from Perform Research supplies high-grade, modern safety components to protect your vintage deck’s original motor and restore smooth, quiet rotation.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Fixes Common Power & Rotation Faults: Stops smoking voltage-drop resistors, corrects slow or reverse rotation, and eliminates electrical popping/hum during power switch engagement.
  • Modern Safety Upgrades: Replaces ageing vintage paper/film capacitors with self-healing X2 Class Safety Suppression Capacitors rated for continuous AC mains exposure.
  • Plug-and-Play Labelling: Takes the guesswork out of installation—each component arrives individually bagged and clearly labelled with its circuit reference (C1, C2, R1).
  • Includes Wiring Guide: Comes complete with a comprehensive component location map and clear wiring diagram to help you solder with confidence.
  • Universal Voltage Support: Fully compatible with both 110V / 60Hz (North America) and 220–240V / 50Hz (UK, Europe, Australia) power configurations.

What’s Included in the Kit

  • (C1) 0.33μF X2 Class Safety Suppression Capacitor: Replaces the main motor phase-shift capacitor to ensure smooth, correct-direction startup.
  • (C2) 0.01μF X2 Class Safety Suppression Capacitor: Spark/pop suppressor across the power switch.
  • (R1) 5.6kΩ 5W Voltage Drop Safety Resistor: Flameproof 5W power resistor matched precisely to factory specs.
  • Wiring & Circuit Diagram Guide: Step-by-step physical location and wiring map.
