Read the take-apart instructions

Many Rega RB250s are now more than 20 years old and may have suffered attempts to dismantle or adjust them. It is also very common to see broken plastic base parts, which are very difficult to replace because the arm has to come completely apart with risk of damage to the shaft and bearings.

A tired or broken RB250 or Goldring GR1 can be easily restored using this module.

Though this is not a factory-approved solution, the kit consists of a genuine, new 2009 specification Rega RB251 base with bearings, shaft, antiskate and arm yoke fitted.

Re-use your old arm tube and arm lift. Replacement stub bearing carriers and bearings for the arm tube are included with the kit..With care, the original wiring can be retained.

Using this kit there is no need to try to dismantle the base, a procedure that is seldom sucessful and very often results in damage to the bearing shaft.

Complete exchange arms

Almost any damaged or broken RB series arm can be exchanged for a brand new 2010 specification RB251.

£65 exchange

These arms are the best RB version we have seen and have a better sound than the original brass-base ones.

The exchange unit must have an unmodified arm tube, functioning arm lift and arm rest. Any of the other parts including bearings or base can be broken or missing.
