Rabco SL-8E Tone Arm

Do anyone know of parts available for a Rabco SL8 or SL8-E? Or, one for sale?

Nandric et al., if it is important enough for you to know about the source of said ruby bearings rather than go on speculating, I will be happy to put you in touch with David Shreve, so feel free to contact me. Out of consideration for his privacy I am not posting the information here.

Dear Frogman, Sorry I missed your point. Well the optimist
among us may think to be able to find the 'sweet spot' in
both 'fields' of their activity. A skeptic however will
probable state that one kind can fake or pretend while the other together with whatever stylus misses the speech capability to tell. So , obviously, it is a matter of belief.

I have a complete Rabco SL-8E, not used in 25 years, in the original box, with all literature including mounting template. I had used it with a Thorens TD 125. When I swithed to Oracle, I never tried to mount it. If you are interested, contact me with a reasonable offer and I will pop in a c-cell and make sure the servo works.

The original servo is junk but its easily fixed.

Oldears, That was the classic TOTL set-up back in the early 80s, a TD125 with a Rabco SL8E. The sight of it in an audio salon (remember those?) used to provoke a case of envy in me, back then.
