Was the suspension of that TD124 beefed-up Wondering if the stock suspension was able to carry that arm.

The TD124 only has rubber mushrooms as "suspensions" so essentially it is NOT a floating deck with springs ala AR or latter Thorens or pushed upwards like Oracle, some have replaced the mushrroms with diy shaped wooden ones....
Nothing exotic I use 5W-30 motor oil, leftovers from my Civic..
IME the models with heavier iron platter are usually quieter too, but I wouldn't worry about slight motor noise in the later versions as long as you don't hear it through your speakers. Supposedly, Thorens reverted to the lighter non magnetic platter because of magnet attraction from the cartridge. I've never encountered this problem though on my MK1 [ivory chassis] using Denon 103, SPU, Grado, FR, MC10 and etc.], but it maybe because I never removed the outer aluminum platter which perhaps serves as a shield?
