Hi all. I've been given a Thorens TD160 turntable which has been in storage for sometime. It does turn after the belt is replaced. However, I noticed that a very thin nylon wire between the balance wheel and the tonearm is broken (attached two photos show the broken wire). Is the wire part of the anti-skate mechanism? How to repair? Appreciate advice. Thanks.

Or even thick dental floss.
A more typical solution in the day would be a Grass 707 or Mayware F4

Probably nothing better than some 0.1mm nylon or ceramic fishing line...any fishing store will have it.
It is part of balancing mechanism, TP16 tonearm is dinamicaly balanced and you'll find details here: https://www.theanalogdept.com/mk1tp16.htm
