See notes elsewhere about reversing phase at another point. Not impossible. I 
don't know about the Thorens (never used one) but the old Lencos handled 
transcriptions easily. And I've generally had better results playing vertical 
cut transcriptions with a .7 mil stylus, which gets to the bottom of the groove 
and misses a lot of the worn area. For some reason this technique doesn't work 
well on 30s Muzak discs but it's great on 40s Worlds. I'll check this one as 
soon as I'm finished with a current emergency project.
