Hasn't been that long ago (13 years ago) I had a Shreve modified Rabco SL8-E.....I had an SL-8 for a while until David built the one with the electric cuing for me....Had them on a Goldmund Studio Mk IV and it was an awesome combination as both ate the ET-2 I used before that on the same table.....Balsa wood arms with class nine bearings were pretty special.....Just a mess to keep working and even the brand of battery made a difference in the sound with the Kodak being the best....Sold the outfit to a friend and he is still using that combo today.....
Vinyl Old timers: HK's and Rabco's
Need some help here. I have seen several old HK ( Harman Kardon ) TT's that had Rabco linear trackers on them. I always assumed that this was the Rabco 8 arm. I recently saw a Rabco 8 for sale on a website and it was completely different. The arms that i remembered looked like a regular linear tracking arm with a straight tube and a headshell. The 8 as displayed on this website looked like a much wider and flatter piece of metal i.e. almost like a piece of flat-stock.
If this really is a Rabco 8, what model arm is it that i recall as being stock on the old HK tables ? Sean
