Description
Appearing
in the early 1960s the Rufa 119K was a battery-powered, half-track mono
machine with a single speed of 3¾ ips and a maximum spool size of
4¼ inches.
Two different types were offered, the R-119K
pictured at left in a ‘fashionable leatherette-covered wooden case’ or
the type 203 (pictured below) which was fundamentally the same machine
housed in a ‘modern vacuum formed plastic case’.

4 dry mono-cell 1.5V batteries, 6V or 12V car battery or via an AC adaptor.
The 119K model also had a rechargeable 6V accumulator.
