@Vintage 700b: The Marantz SLT-12U was a turntable I spied at The Turntable Shop. I knew the owner of the shop and I worked out a deal with Nick to have him set aside the turntable, while I waited for two turntables to sell at his store as a straight exchange for the Marantz. I didn't have to wait long. The turntable was Nick's personal-use one and it was on display and not listed for sale. He was reluctant to sell it to just anyone and it was understood the new owner would go through a tutorial on its proper use and maintenance. That training session took about 45 minutes, but was time well-spent. There are no electronics involved in its linear-tracking operation - strictly mechanical. It came with the original packing carton.

Okay, that Marantz is gorgeous. It begs begs a couple of fun questions for me. Wonder if Marantz incorproated any Rabco parts or technology in the arm or if it was their own engineering? Wonder if ReVox used any Marantz technology in their straight-line tracker given the similarities in the housing of the arm. It matter not as that's a cool turntable but the dots are there to be connected, or not.
