Experience With Linear Tracking Turntables

Ever since the advent of the Bang & Olufson linear tracking turntables of the 70's & 80's I have always wondered about their sound, function and longevity.  If you own a linear tracking turntable, I would appreciate your thoughts compared to standard pivot tonearm turntables.

Was looking at the Bergmann Magne Turntable & Tonearm "system".

Would appreciate some first hand experiences.  Do these turntables and associated tonearms function without many issues?  Does the arm track without friction?  And so on.

Your experiences would be appreciated.

Thanks and Happy Listening.

I used to own a VPI TNT 3 table with an ET2 tonearm.  I loved the arm, but wound up selling the TT/Arm combo years ago, and I'm sorry I did.  It could be a pain to set up, but with the right table and patience, it was capable of amazing things.

Bruce is still making and servicing them.  They come up occasionally on the used market for a reasonable price.
