The Rek-O-Kut Rondine Deluxe is one of the most collectible vintage turntables, and this is a stellar example. Complete with the original Rek-O-Kut plinth, an Ortofon RS-212 arm, and Denon DL-103 cartridge, this table has been completely rebuilt. If you look carefully, you can see a few cosmetic issues, but mechanically, this 'table is the bees knees.

- Liner Notes
The Rondine Deluxe is the aristocrat of the Rondine turntable line. Unbelievable care is expended to insure that all parts are machined and assembled to a tolerance that assures freedom from wow, rumble and flutter, and yet achieves extremely fast start up time and constant speed of operation. It represents the ultimate in turntable design, construction and performance. It can be said of the Rondine Deluxe that it is the smoothest and quietest 12 inch turntable available on the market today. Rumble, wow and flutter are virtually non-existent. As a record reproducing device, it represents the closest approach to the ideal ever attained.
