Do anyone know of parts available for a Rabco SL8 or SL8-E? Or, one for sale?

Dave is one of the good guys. He can probably repair one in his sleep, too. ;)

Nandric,

I believe that Morch may be referring to the importance of the moment of inertia around the longitudinal axis of the tonearm. This was first explored by Michell Cotter many decades ago, and was the basis for the development of the Magnepan tonearm of the late Seventies.

Mark Kelly discussed it on another forum back in 2005.

Nandric, The short of it is that the mass and placement of the counterweight of a unipivot tonearm has more importance than just VTF adjustment. It also significantly affects the lateral motion of the armwand.
