Rek-O-Kut B-16H
16 Inch 3-Speed Transcription Turntable
Description
The universal demand for a 16", 3 speed transcription turntable, specifically designed and engineered for the three popular disc recording speeds, has now been filled by the Rek-O Kut model B-16H.
Entirely new elements of design and engineering, based upon suggestions made by leading engineers in the field, were embodied to produce this authentic three-speed turntable.
As a result, all three recording speeds, 33 1/3, 45 and 78 can be selected with equal facility simply by turning an indicator.
Here is another proud result of the recognised skill and ingenuity of Rek-O-Kut craftsmen.
The Model B-16H belongs in your station or studio.

16 inch
Ever see one?
The flywheel action makes an incredibly stable speed.
Because the platter alway rings on the outside circumference, the ringing is a long way from the record.
The idler wheel and motor is usually at the rim, which is a long way from the record.
The advantages of an idler drive (Platter mass added to motor mass for the lowest resonant frequency).
They sound huge and musical.
This Rek-O-Cut has one flaw:The edge of the platter should be shrouded for prevention of bearing impact from side thrust. A good installation will have a plywood baffle over the turntable to protect the edges.
Is the motor of B-16H made by Telefunken in Germany?
Probably you know about it ?
