TN-420 OVERVIEW

Turn turn turn


What better way to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Summer of Love than with the certifiably far-out TN-420 turntable? Beneath the groovy exterior, this 2-speed turntable combines a high density MDF base with an expertly machined aluminum platter to deliver incredible resonance rejection, speed control and audio fidelity.
