Experience With Linear Tracking Turntables

Ever since the advent of the Bang & Olufson linear tracking turntables of the 70's & 80's I have always wondered about their sound, function and longevity.  If you own a linear tracking turntable, I would appreciate your thoughts compared to standard pivot tonearm turntables.

Was looking at the Bergmann Magne Turntable & Tonearm "system".

Would appreciate some first hand experiences.  Do these turntables and associated tonearms function without many issues?  Does the arm track without friction?  And so on.

Your experiences would be appreciated.

Thanks and Happy Listening.

I have two Technics SL-10 Linear Tracking full auto machines. Both track well and always start and stop accurately.

this mitsubishi is not in good shape, just to see what it looks like

 

 

I helped a friend find a near virgin one, helped set it up, align ... It has either manual or semi auto start, finish, return.

Sounds darn good, he loves it.
