THE AUCTION IS FOR A COMPLETE KIT TO RUBUILD 

YOUR THORENS TD 124 MOTOR. 

THORENS TD 135 TD 121 TD 224 TD 184

( 2 sintered bronze bushing with oil impregnated 22 % oil

like original.

+ 4 felt rings + 6 mini rivets )

so they are ready to use.

Audiosilente is proud to announce we are now producing true, 

sintered (heated and pressed from metallic powder)

 bronze bushings, using the same process Thorens used in the 1960’s! 

While our original bushings, bored using a CNC dental lathe were very good,

 no process creates a better performing, more uniform part. 

 Using heat and pressure to fuse metallic powder into a precision 

part is not the cheapest way, but it is the best way.

Thorens made true sintered bushings, so 

why do other companies only offer bored bushings? 

Because they are cheaper to make! 

Remember, “sintered” means heat pressed from powder.  

Don’t be fooled!

AudioSilente has spared no expense 

to bring you the finest bushings on the market today.  

We have worked with metallurgists to reproduce

 the original bronze alloy mix and with other 

Thorens restoration experts to confirm the original

 Thorens parts measurements.

 We have secured the services of one of the finest companies,

 experts in creating true sintered bronze parts, 

to make our molds and the parts you see here.

Our process produces a part with

 BETTER 

tolerance than the Thorens original.

  Custom produced in Germany, our bushings are checked every 

100 units to confirm tolerance within 0.004 millimeters! 

No other process produces a part with the same porosity,

 the ability to hold as much oil as the Thorens original (22%). 

Porosity is only part of what assures proper lubrication. 

The capillary system of the bushing

 must be perfect through-and-through to assure maximum, 

even flow of oil from the felt washers,

 through the bushing and finally to the motor rotor. 

The full running surface of the rotor MUST have an uninterrupted oil film. 

This is key to achieving optimal performance,

 low friction and lower operating temperature.

There is ZERO chance of a production drill smearing

 the inside of our bushings and closing the oil pores because 

NO DRILLS are used in creating AudioSilente bushings! 

There is ZERO chance of drill bit marks marring the running 

surface of the bushing either - again - NO DRILLS! 

The proof is in the results! Our very first motor rebuilt using these bushings

 comes to speed quickly and maintains speed-

Your Thorens TD 124 is a precision instrument, 

prized for its ability to reproduce the smallest nuances.

 It is no wonder properly restored TD 124s command such high prices. 

Don’t short-change your restoration by putting 

any other bushings in the most critical running part of the turntable -

 the motor. Use only true, sintered bushings from AudioSilente!

Your E50 rebuild kit also includes four felt washers, 

one PTFE (teflon) thrust pad, 

and six rivets that replace the original Thorens rivets.

 AudioSilente’s kit includes these rivets instead

 of screws because rivets work better in this application,

 due to the motor’s significant thermal expansion.
