Thorens Music Box links:

Note: This site - The Analog Dept. -  is about the record players.....mainly those that were produced to play the Long Playing Record. However I do get emails from individuals seeking information about Thorens music boxes. It is important to note that the company founder, Hermann Thorens began the business in the 19th century making music boxes and the spring motors that powered them. So far I have only the one link, but I will add links as they become known to me.

https://www.thorensad30.com/  This site discusses the Thorens 4-1/2 inch metal disc players made by Thorens from the late 1800's up to 1986 when the mechanical music box portion of the Thorens business was taken over by Reuge SA, also in Sainte-Croix, Switzerland.


Simone Lucchetti https://www.audiosilente.com/  Simone offers numerous critical replacement parts for Vintage Thorens turntables. In my experience the quality of manufacture is top tier. Recommended.



https://www.Paleophonies.com  A Thorens dealer in Paris, France . Interesting shop, items listed include antique grammophones, vintage radios, reel to reel tape recorders.
