I have a RB250 arm with the full Pete Riggle upgrade package: VTAF, Counterweight for the Common Man, and VTAF Teflon Upgrade. The VTAF is already installed on the arm by Pete. The arm is wired with Wasatch Cable Works 2X-Treme tonearm wiring.

I bought this arm intendeding to install it on my Clearaudio Concept TT like Jim (jrebman) did, but then I finally got my cart/arm aligned and adjusted correctly with help from Den (tomytoons) and I am happy with the sound, so I am selling the Rega arm, unused by me.
The arm originally belonged to Pete Riggle's personal friend, a blind piano tuner who sold his system to move into small retirement home. Pete gave the arm a check-up, modded it with his new parts, and gave all the proceeds to his friend. So this arm has some lovely karma. I am selling it for the same price I paid, $450 plus shipping, plus paypal fee or pay by check. Riggle charges $310 for just the mods, without installation. The Rega RB250 arm is a classic, one of the the best sounding arms Rega made.
It will ship safely in the same overkill packaging that Riggle sent to me.
The Riggle arm weight and vertical holding fingers are not shown in this pic, see the mfg links above. The Riggle parts are made from pretty, engine-turned, clear-lacquered, solid brass. The VTAF mod requires a 1.5" diameter mounting hole in the arm board.
Thanks for reading my ad!
