Can any provide me with a few close up photos of the turntable hold down nut used on the Thorens Excelda? Mine is missing and I want to make one. Measurements, like diameter and height would be great too!
Thanks!

Thank you, James! I should be able to make something like that. I did not realized it was engraved on the top, but anything is better than a hex nut.

Close enough for me. A little more polishing and then plating and I will be good to go. Thanks again for the photos.

You’ve done an excellent job! I had one of these and I don’t recall it saying ‘MADE IN SWITZERLAND’ on the nut, so maybe some didn’t.

Thank you! I know it is not exact, but it works and looks better than a hex nut.
