Linear Tracker ...I was wondering


Is there a not too expensive (less than $¹⁰⁰⁰) and good linear tracking tonearm that I could mount on my SL1200MK5?

If you can find an Technics SL-10 in good shape, go for it.
It came with a MC cart, and was a square foot of Simplicity.

*sigh*  I had to part with mine awhile back....and I still regret that move...
*L*  I have one of those old Rabco ST-4's that I got for nil decades ago.
Complete with the 'split' dust cover(s)....;)...and it was New. In the box.
I keep it as a reminder of how 'ingenious' lengths one could go to with the concept, as it did work....not very well, but it did....*L*

Also have a SL-8 that needs some TLC and some 'SortaOTA' revamping, but it's light-seconds 'better' than the ST-4....easily..

Have a 9/10 Garrard Z-100 that I found in a Goodwill for 20$. *G*

A Teac P-J51 unit that's something the spouse can deal with...she's not good with 'cueing', but knows to destat before play. ;)...
Not 'elegant', but serviceable for the day to day....another 9/10...

Will eventually get around to setting up a more 'phile table/tangent arm/cart, but no rush....*S*
