Kenwood KD-500 is a 2-speed, direct drive turntable featuring a stroboscope with lamp, fine speed adjusting control, height adjustment and free stop action dust cover (see above on the dc). The base is made of plastic granulates, stone powder and mineral fibers, all (com)pressed together under high heat. The underside is formed so that no possible resonating cavity remains. This composite was later on used on lower-end Kenwood tables.
