Hi all,

Just checking if anyone on here has a Rega RB250 (preferred) or RB251 (or OEM equivalent) that's surplus to requirements?

Other inexpensive tonearms also considered.

This is for a Lenco re-plinth project - would ideally like something better, but the project is running out of funds (whenever I try a DIY project, it always ends up costing way over the inital budget :doh: )

Ideally I'd want to pay by PayPal gift.

Cheers,

Hi

Got a RB300 (I think!) from a Rega P3 which I no longer need if you are interested.

Not too sure how to tell the difference from an RB250 to an RB300 but if you are interested I can get some pictures done.

Cheers
Dave

Hi Dave,

How much mate?

EDIT: On the RB250 the vertical tracking force is adjusted by rotating the counterweight - which has a scale on it. On the RB300, the VTF is adjusted by knob on the right side of the bearing housing, the counterweight is plain metal without a scale.

Hi

Reckon a fair price is £80 - does that seem reasonable?
