And the Rek O Kut obviates just about all the Lenco
top plate VTA/Tonearm length hassles and issues, it's so easy at least the M# 34 Rim drive Rek O Kuts if anything have more drive than Lenco's I don't know about the speed stability differences but the Rek O Kut's sound incredible to my ears.

I know I've seen them at some online sight but I can't remember where. A google search turned up luittle or nothing. Thanks
We aren't talking about the stuff currently made under the Rek-O-Kut name, in case anyone is wondering. Only ancient Rek-O-kuts need apply.

While I'm not near as knowledgeable as the others here, I can endorse the Rek-O.
I got my LP-743 for $29.95 on ebay (they're not that cheap anymore)
I spent $15.00 on MDF and birch ply.
I used a RB250 I already owned.
I actually like the LP-34, LP-43, and LP-743 better than the B-12.
Simple, simple, simple.
There is a photo of a TT from a guy called mrclassicman (I think that's right)
Simple elegance.
Have fun
PS. I've got 2 more coming from ebay
As far as I know, it's pretty much the ebay.Plus, the actual name brand is rek[dash]o[dash]kut, so you may have better google luck with that spelling.
and they seem to be more readily available, and cheaper, on the 'bay.
The Rek O Kuts are anything but rare but do appear in gaggles (is that correct for groupings of TT's ? ;-)I've bought quite a few in every manner of condition and configuration and I've yet to get a flawed platter bearing or
motor, some do require a new or re-conditioned Drive puck
for optimum purchase with the platter and concentricity, but usually
some emery cloth, lacquer thinner and elbow grease is more than sufficient, then again I'm a far cry from a driven perfectionist old World
Craftsman, if it's doing the job at least well and isn't going to be
a reliability of performance issue in the foreseeable future then
thats all I need, then again I do have serious financial restraints.
It's either a gaggle or a covey, I've never been able to keep that straight.
Oh, and as far as the finances are concerned, maybe that's why I like it over here at Vinyl World so much. Sure, there's as much money to be spent on a tt as on any component, but it doesn't seem to be the main consideration of most of the people here. For the most part, just good convivial conversation about a topic we all enjoy.
