Product Review (submitted on May 30, 2020):
My new RT83, in black piano finish, worked perfectly from the start and the smoothness of its operation was a delightful surprise. The 3 adjustable feet is a really good design choice for reducing contact transmission of vibrations and ease of leveling the whole setup. Including a spirit level was a nice touch.
The turntable assembled in minutes with tone arm calibration being a little fussy only because of the grey-on-black markings on the counterweight and anti-skate knob. Using a small LED flashlight solved that minor issue.
I've ordered extra headshells for easier cartridge changing of my other vintage cartridges. All in all I think I'm in for many years of happy listening.
By the way, the RT83 arrived in perfect condition in spite of the shipper's efforts at destruction of the box so kudos to whoever designed the packaging.
