The Pioneer PL-516 is a vintage turntable featuring a belt-driven system primarily popular during the late 1970s and early 1980s. It offers features such as a full-auto mechanism where both the tonearm placement and return are automated, a two-speed design capable of 33 and 45 RPM, and an anti-skating control to prevent the tonearm from drifting. The design typically incorporates adjustable pitch control and a stroboscope for precise speed adjustments. It is valued for its durable build and the quality of playback.
