REK-O-KUT 260 MKII AUDIOPHILE TONEARM
EXTRA LONG, 16 INCH TRANSCRIPTION ARM w/ Standard Cable Included

Please Read Notice Below

If building a new turntable playback system, you should consider the new Rek-O-Kut S-260 MKII extra long arm.  There are very few modern tonearms that actually have 16" transcription disc capacity.  Few less that are true 12" (305 mm) in effective length.  Those available else ware cost many times the price of the S-260 MKII.  This extra length also has advantages for 12" LP records, in that there is much less tracking error. Unlike vintage Rek-O-Kut arms, the S-260 MKII utilizes standard removable headshells to facilitate switching cartridges and styli, precise tracking and anti-skating force adjustment, a damped cuing arm, and lower mass.

If used as a replacement of and earlier Rek-O-Kut Model 160 or S-260, it will cover the mounting hole of most.  The S-260 MKII arm mounts at almost the exact point of the original arm found on so many vintage Rek-O-Kut turntables.  Slight mounting hole modification may be required. 

It can be used with almost any new build turntable system, as an arm replacement, or upgrading of earlier Rek-O-Kut S-260 arms.  This arm cannot be used on any of our current CVS line of turntables.  It can be used with our Rondine 3, but only with some cosmetic compromises and not using the dustcover.
