A
short history….
The first Rega turntables built during the 70's carried a Rega designed
Japanese built 'S' shaped tonearm called the R200. By 1983 the time had
come for Rega to design and build its own tonearm and so the world famous
RB300 (Rega Britain) was born. The high pressure die-cast silicon alloy
tube alone took two years to develop alongside the UK's largest die-cast
company. The work and our casting subsequently won us an "international
casting award" from America for what is still considered today to
be a technically impossible casting. See if you can find one the same!
Since its conception we have sold over 400,000 of the now legendary RB300
derived tonearm.
