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.

Dave made a base for my Terminator when I had it I since have moved on. Thanks again Dave
@uberwaltz that air prodigy is definitely a partial copy of the Trans Fi Terminator now being produced in Russia since Vic retired -  https://www.musicfromvinyl.shop/
