Rabco SL-8E Tone Arm

Thanks for the memories guys. When I was a kid back in the 70s, I remember seeing the Rabco at a high end audio store. It was awesome. Felt bad because I couldn't afford it then. Good luck with the repair.

Just curious, how does the Rabco stack up against modern TT gear?? Whatever happended to the company??

Nandric, There are two missing parts that I can determine.

One is a small screw located on top of the tone arm wand behind the fixing knob. I believe a ground wire attaches here, under the small screw.

Also, I think there is some sort of bent metal part that goes in this location, but I don't have any photographs as reference to check this.

Finally, there is another small ground wire located in back of the carriage assembly which is currently broken and I'm not sure where it is supposed to be attached. I could send you a picture, but don't think that is possible through Audiogone.

Hiho,

Vinyengine states the following when trying to download the Rabco service manual: "Important Due to a change in the forum software some users may have to reset their passwords in order to log in. Please follow the 'I forgot my password' link below to reset your password."
I've logged in as instructed, but nothing works.

Bifwynne,

I don't know how the Rabco stacks up against modern tone arms. And, I'm not sure when the company went out of business.

Kisawyer, If you post the pictures of your Rabco to me
I can see what parts are missing (btw 'et'=@). You have
my e-mail address and don't need A'gon as intermediary.
I bought then an incomplete Rabco for parts but never used
any.
