Thorens Power Supply – AC/DC 12 V

The Thorens power supply AC/DC 12 V is a replacement plug-in power supply that delivers 12 volts DC to Thorens components that require exactly that.

If your original was lost or is faulty, here you get the matching replacement. It's supplied as a neutral power supply without Thorens branding — what matters anyway are the specs, not the lettering on the case.

Why this power supply?

Because it matches the specification Thorens gives for its original replacement power supply: 12 V DC at 300 mA, barrel connector with the positive on the inside. The wide-range input from 100 to 240 volts makes it insensitive to mains fluctuations and suitable for use abroad — with a travel adapter.

What you get

A simple, functioning plug-in power supply with a Euro plug. No sonic miracle, no tuning part — just the thing that gets your turntable running again.

Who is this power supply for?

For owners of Thorens devices that, according to the rating plate, need 12 V DC at around 300 mA — this includes, among others, the TD 158, TD 170, TD 190, TD 206, TD 209, TD 235 and TD 240.

To be clear: if your device requires AC voltage (AC/AC) or a different voltage, this power supply is the wrong one — and at worst an expensive mistake. Checking the old power supply or the rating plate takes a minute. Take that minute, or ask us.

Our verdict

An honest spare part at a fair price. If you're unsure which voltage, current and polarity your device needs, we'll clarify it with you quickly at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil — better to ask once than buy twice.

Frequently asked questions

Does this power supply fit my device?

Only if your device requires 12 V DC at around 300 mA and a barrel connector with the positive on the inside. Check the rating on your old power supply or on the rating plate — the wrong voltage type can cause damage. If in doubt, our team is happy to help.

What polarity does the barrel connector have?

Centre-positive: the positive terminal is on the inside, the negative on the outside. You can recognise this on your device's rating plate by the symbol with the plus sign on the inner circle. If the polarity doesn't match, the device won't work or may be damaged.

What's the difference between AC/DC and AC/AC?

AC/DC delivers direct current, AC/AC delivers alternating current. The two are not interchangeable — your device needs exactly the type it was built for. So check the exact designation carefully before ordering.
