Dear Jim,  The part you seek is now being manufactured by Reuge for
their 4" disc player which is identical to the Thorens mechanism you
have.

distributor for Reuge and we have this part in stock for immediate
delivery:

  Reuge part no.: G52501-22
  Retail cost: $30.00  (California residents add 8.25% tax = $2.48)

For an additional $10.00 we also provide a detailed step-buy-step
