Rolf's comments:
"The TD 125 was finished yesterday. The sound is absolutely perfect, very dynamic,
showing details I've never heard on my test records. I thought it would be very
good, but I was surprised to hear perfection. I tested it with van den Hul Frog  (Gold, built as van den Hul´s own reference Frog ) using customers 3012 R
tonearm. It is one of these turntables, You hate to give away....."

Wooden frame with lead ball filled chambers
RDC ground plate
Externally regulated DC power supply
Modified motor board. plays 33 1/3, 45, and 78, (originals play 16 instead of 78)

Dust cover ( removable for playing )

Best regards
