I had a Rabco arm mounted on a Sony belt drive table in the early 70's. It was outstanding when it worked properly. I can still remember the faint "whirring" sound when it made an alignment correction. After about 6 years, the arm would mysteriously raise in the middle of a track, sometimes as many as 3 or 4 times during one selection. I was told that the "contacts" had corroded. I traded it towards a $500 Yamaha direct drive unit at the dealer who first sold me the Rabco/Sony unit. The Rabco was much better than the Yamaha ...when it was working properly. Thanks for the trip down memory lane...
Anyone heard of this???
A buddy and I were discussing old turntables, arms and cartridges the other day. He walked over to his closet and pulled out an old linear track tonearm. The brand name.....Radco (spelling?). He claimed that at one time it was the top tonearm, rated by Stereophile as the best arm on the market. It is probably mid 70's vintage. Anyone heard of it. Anyone owned one or heard it.
