About the TD135
The Thorens TD-135 is a vintage precision transcription turntable introduced in 1961 and produced through the mid-to-late 1960s. It is a compact, more affordable alternative to the TD-124, using a hybrid belt-and-idler drive, a 4-speed motor, and a 12-inch non-magnetic platter. It was designed to work optimally with the Thorens BTD-12S tonearm and is known for Swiss build quality and very high speed stability.
