Attention Audio Veterans

Need to know who made a linear tracking turntable circa 1980. I'm thinking Phase Linear but not sure (not Rabco). Thanks...

I have never seen anything else quite like it. All of the other linear tracking tables I have seen look more like industrial grade products.

I used to own one before buying my VPI. It was a very large, but sleek looking turntable. The dustcover had a low sloping look to it. I sold mine to a friend. I think he still has it.

I think the same design may have been marketed under a different brand. At the same time, Mitsubishi also sold a slightly beefier version with faux mahogony base. It did not stand up, however. Could this be what you are trying to remember?
