Picked up a Pioneer PL-L1000 Thursday. Still needs cleaning & tweaking. But damn sounds good.

Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened?
Curious as to the demise and downfall of the seemingly short lived linear tracking TT.
Just from a geometry point of view I would have thought a linear arm should be superior to one with a fixed pivot that sweeps through an arc.
Obviously there is much more to it than that, sort of the reason for this thread.
I am genuinely interested in trying one out for myself as well.

Went to a neighboring town record store Sat. There sat this Rabco
SL-8E/Panasonic SP-10 MK I combo. Tried to walk away from it. Not fast
enough. Had some issues. Got it home last night. Pull the 10 out cleaned
and adjusted it. Works fine. played with the arm today. I actually got
it moving. But still have issue with the cueing down. Tonight Wed. Played with the arm some more. Actually got the arm lift to work so I
don’t have to hold the lift switch. played several albums all the way
thru and the arm lifted at the end as it should. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBUIDcL1LUc |
