Please Help T3F problems

I really Miss my Goldmund Studio/T3F

As soon as I turn the table on the toneearm drives straight to the spindle risking my Kouetsu Onyx cartridge. It did this to me years ago and I found that by repeatedly turning it off and on I eventually got it to work and I just left it turned on. That worked for awhile but now it will not come out of that mode.

I have a Krell, Apogee Fullrange, Suprateck system and cds just aren't cutting it.

If anyone has any experience with this, Id really appreciate any assistance 

 

 

Thanks in advance for any help

I googled "Rabco tonearm owners group" and found this group on Lenco Heaven:

https://www.lencoheaven.net/forum/index.php?topic=18696.0

Those Lenco guys are very helpful.  There are more such sites, if you care to google the topic I put in quotations above.

Seems like one of those guys on the Lenco thread(s) actually fixes Rabco tonearms for other owners.  That's where I would start, if you don't get any DIY hints from other reading.

Throw the T3F away and mounted an Eminent Technology ET2.5 instead.

The ET will last a lifetime and is very reliable - I've heard both on a Goldmund - the ET is a big improvement over the Goldmund arm.

Alternatively go to a pivoted arm - something like the Kuzma 4point9 would be a big improvement also over the T3F.
