Tonearm and Pick-Up Cartridge
Your Thorens turntable is delivered with a pre-installed
TP 82 tonearm and an TAS 257 (MM) pick-up cartridge.
➔ Fig. 7
The tonearm counterweights are removed for ship-
ping. Screw the large counterweight onto the rear sec-
tion of the tonearm, then the smaller, eccentric weight.
The smaller weight should always sit as close as pos-
sible to the large weight without touching it. Adjust the
tracking force and the azimuth. ➔ Page 31/32
The bias weight is also removed for shipping and
needs to be fitted to the tonearm. ➔ Page 33
The TP 82 tonearm can accommodate most pick-up
cartridges with a distance of 12.7 mm (½ ”) between the
mounting holes. To connect the pick-up cartridge, push
the four colour-coded cartridge tags onto the cartridge
pins.
If the cartridge pins are not colour-coded, connect them
as follows:
R right channel (signal) ➔ red
G right channel (earth) ➔ green
L left channel (signal) ➔ white
G left channel (earth) ➔ blue
