RB300 with broken finger lift


One of these is listed for sale in the classifieds. Seller says the lift is broken (as oppose to sawed) off. Anyone have experience with one of these? I am aware of the theoretical arguments about resonance from the lift, etc. But my question is whether anyone actually has any experience with the 300s (or 250s) from that source. Satisfied?

Is there any reason other than resale value and the lack of a finger lift,not to get one (assuming it's otherwise sound)?

Thanks!

I have the RB 900 with the same problem. It was replaced with the finger lift from the naim aro. The naim is not as fragile or prone to vibrations. Rega makes a great arm, but the finger lift is another issue!!!
The missing lift is not a problem because I replaced it with the finger lift from a naim aro arm as I said the first time!
