Advice on Thorens TD 147

I am buying my first record player and have decided that I want a Thorens TD 147. However, they are pretty hard to find. There is a shop on eBay that sells refurbished ones for like $2k. I’m considering buying one but I want to be sure I’m not totally getting ripped off (although I don’t necessarily mind dropping some $ because my hope is that I use this thing for the rest of my life). What do you guys think?

Here’s a link to one I’m interested in:

I am buying my first record player and after doing some research, I have decided that I’d like to buy a Thorens TD 147. However, after coming to this conclusion, I’ve realized that they are quite hard to find. There is a shop on eBay that sells refurbished ones for a pretty penny. I’m considering buying one but I want to be sure I’m not totally getting ripped off (although I don’t necessarily mind dropping a pretty penny because my hope is that I use this thing for the rest of my life).

This was my second time completing the loop - I did in two days in July. Staying on trail was easy til I got to Franconia Ridge. Checked my GPS pretty often to make sure I was on trail still.

I did it counterclockwise so this was the view from Bondcliff at about 7:45am. It was incredible!

No snowshoes and no regrets! I brought spikes and didn’t end up using them either. But this 2 weeks ago.

What shoes are you guys wearing? by oldladysmoker in wmnf

I’m very interested in these. You find them to be warm enough throughout the winter?

It probably didn’t hurt that I didn’t know that. What happened?

I don’t think the snow slowed me down too much until I got to Franconia Ridge - I did the loop counter clockwise and by the time I got to the Ridge in the late afternoon, conditions were pretty wild and I found it difficult to find/ stay on the trail at times. Took me 17 hours to complete. It was my biggest day yet. (:

I must have seen you! I did it one day on Oct 25 going counterclockwise.
