No, McIntosh MA6900. I still have the Maggie, I just need to get around to figuring out why it has a dead channel.
Thorens are great turntables. I wish you luck in your search. Ya never know what you might stumble upon so, don't give up hope my good man.
I bought the Revox for $100 in working condition. It had an ancient Grado cart on it that didn't last very long after I started using it. The seller told me it had been in his uncles garage for twenty years or more before the old guy died. That it worked at all after 20 years exposed to the Southeast Virginia heat and humidity is amazing. Cleaned and lubricated, there were springs, the string, a couple capacitors that needed replacement and the interconnect plugs had some corrosion so, Jack replaced those as well. It's not the prettiest to look at, kind of clunky and industrial in appearance but I love this thing. The sound is wonderful.
