Linear Tracker ...I was wondering

So true.
Mijo forgot to add "IMHO" ..... Again......

Is there a not too expensive (less than $¹⁰⁰⁰) and good linear tracking tonearm that I could mount on my SL1200MK5?

Strange choice for this Sl1200 mk5 turntable
Remember Technics SL-M3 with Linear Tracking ? There are some nice images of that old beast. Looks better than MK5 for sure ... 

You can buy a whole SL-M3 turntable with Linear Tracking for something like $1200 (i just checked on ebay).

That's quite a beast!

Just for a taste of linear tracking on a beer budget there is the much simpler SL-10.
An example of which I own.
Pretty affordable, very well built and managed to hold its own pretty well in the sonics department.
Sure it's not upper echelon but for under $400 not a bad way to dip ones toes into the water.

@chaksterThat is indeed the table I would go for, the SLM3. But it looks like it's designed for a Pmount cartridge. Would you know if it accepts more current standard cartridges? 

The solid build of the SL1200 makes it a keeper. Thus, I was thinking of keeping the unit and just changing the arm. If the SLM3 can accomodate a normal cartridge, I would be a definite option. Great suggestion. 👍🏼

I do not believe ANY of the crop of vintage Japanese linear trackers accept anything but a p mount Cart.
Which yes does limit the choices somewhat.
