The Well-Tempered is a good recommendation, but I would also suggest the SME-10, which includes the arm as well, and also Tom Evans Groove or Mini Groove Plus. The SME-10 has world class quality, and the long history of SME, even today, will be able to provide parts for a 1960's SME tonearm.
Although many more 'tweaky' table/arm combination will sound better than the SME-10, you would waste too much time and put your focus away from music or building a useful LP collection.
Pick a cartridge of your fancy, a Helikon is fine, so as a Lydian Beat which gives very little. 3 years later and you have 300 records, you can upgrade the table or cartridge.
Personally, the RB arms are over-hyped, cheap no doubt, but it has no VTA which limits ability to work with various cartridges (after market Rega VTA kits are available but why bother ?) The SME 10 arm made with magnesium is a very nice arm that is not available separately.
