Radial Audio Replacement for Rabco SL-8E tonearm

Back in 1977 Dean Slindee started to mod the Rabco SL-8E.  Too bad the Rabco is defunct, a tonearm ahead of its time.

Not sure why anyone would want to buy an arm that mechanically jerks its way across the record.

How quickly does the servo respond when playing an eccentric record which means the cartridge has to go back and forward with every revolution ?

Dear Dover, If you made those statements back than I would come to (Dutch) New

''Zeeland'' to kill you for destruction of my dream of  an arm without any deviation

from 0 angle. There were many mods in Holland back than and lightest (BALSA

WOOD) won the contest. I borrowed the money for the first time in my life  to

get ''the best  ever''. ''It'' looked impressive on my Thorens 160.

If you come to New Zealand you can see that I already have an arm with 0 trickle angle error - I have owned for over 30 years the Eminent Technology ET2 air bearing  tonearm - superb - the best linear tracker I have used, far better than Goldmund, Souther, Transfi and several others I've heard.

Dear dover, you probably missed the thread about your ''best ever arm''.

Curious because nearly as long as our MM thread. There were so many

modification proposals that nobody could remember them. Like Wiitgensteins

''Philosphical investigations'' consisting of 10000 remarks while ''normal

people'' can remembar about 10. I decided not to follow because I would 

need to sell my home to pay for all of those ''improvements'',

The main issue with the air bearing arm is that you have to run an air supply through the house and set up is critical. Traditional tonearms are easier to set up.

In reality you talk to Franc Kuzma and he will tell you that his linear tracking air bearing arm is the best arm he makes - better than any of the 4points and others.

Dear dover, are you married?  If so she must be an angel (grin).
