Budget Linear track table?

The closest to "entry level" in terms of cost that I've seen in recent years is the $599 MG-1 air-bearing tonearm to add to your turntable of choice. I've never heard one, let alone tried one, but I've read a couple of reasonably favorable comments.

I don't know of any integrated arm/tables being sold that would get close to this (plus 'table, of course).

An alternative would be to find a used Eminent Technology tonearm.

Rush stole my idea when he mentioned the ET arm. I once owned one and they are exceptional for the money.

Thanks guys, Bruce Thigpen has always been really nice to talk too and I bet his arm is very good.

I understand from a friend that Rabco tables can be obtained fairly cheaply on ebay these days. He says that the reason they are being sold off so cheaply is that one of the rubber wheels used in the tangential tracking arm wears out and then the arm doesn't work correctly. According to him this can be corrected easily with parts obtainable from home depot or lowes, etc. and then the table is as good as new.
