Beautifully-preserved and restored Thorens with new belt and a classic B&O SP12 cartridge. The Thorens TD-160 manual transcription turntable and its TP16 arm share many of the advanced engineering features and refinements of the sophisticated Thorens TD-125 mark II and continues to be one of the best midrange turntables.
This unit has a beautiful teak veneer plinth.
