It was produced from the 1950s through the 1960s and is highly regarded for its precise design and sound quality.
Platter:
The TD-124 features a heavy aluminum platter. Its weight and solid build help provide stable rotation and reduce record vibration.
Belt Drive:
The TD-124 uses a belt-drive system to transmit power from the motor to the platter.

This minimizes noise and distortion during record playback and contributes to improved sound quality.
Tonearm:

The tonearm included with this unit is a wooden tonearm from GRADO’s Laboratory Series.
For the cartridge, a SHURE V15 Type II has been installed, which pairs extremely well with this tonearm.
