Description

Here we have a vintage turntable from then British company NAD. The 5120 was designed as a budget turntable to compete with similarly priced decks of the time. This example is being sold as seen for spares or repair noting the following: no tonearm; faulty motor – runs but extremely noisy, only one hinge on lid.
NAD Said….
The 5120 incorporates all the vital features of a turntable needed to achieve outstanding musical performance. A high quality synchronous motor ensures that the belt driven platter maintains accurate speeds without rumble or flutter. The platter, with its vibration-absorbing thick rubber mat, and the interchangeable tonearm are mounted on a sub chassis, isolating them from the main chassis and from any possible interference introducing vibrations. NAD’s Dynamic Vibration Absorber (DVA) free floating tonearm counter-weight ensures absolute stylus tracking stability and freedom for muddying resonances.
In September ‘94 What Hi Fi? said “ – there’s nothing around to touch it at the price”.
