Gerry:

Keep the Thorens.

Depending on the Model, they can fetch a decent price or be used for a good 
trade.

Some here in the US have them rebuilt with state of the art cartridges, 
belts, sound dampening etc. with superb results.

I trade my Thorens plus cash for a Rega P3 which i?m very, very happy with.  
Ended up popping for a Brio-R integrated amp and Ear headphone amp.

Lovely sound either with headphones or through a pair of Klipsch Corner 
Horns.

You can Google Thorens on Audio forums for more insights

Cheers,

Bob in Seattle.
