The Thomson OSI EM 302 TH model is an iconic piece of 1970s Space Age design, produced in France.
This portable phonograph or turntable is famous for its vibrant aesthetics and its practicality, typical of an era when music became “mobile.”

Here are the complete technical specifications for this specific version:
