Thorens TD520 Professional Turntable with 12″ TP90 tonearm with auto lift.

The Thorens TD-520 Professional is a worthy successor to the classic TD-126 mkII.

It retains the 78rpm speed with electronic cueing and auto shut-off.

Fitted with 16-pole synchronous motor with 2-phase generator. Available without a tonearm as the TD-521.
