    Harman Kardon ST-8 revisions

    Hello! A few years ago I got bitten by the linear tracking turntable bug. There's something exciting to me about seeing all the different ways that various companies solved the problem of tonearm movement.

    HK RABCO ST-7 Tracking Roller Questions

    I have two ST-7 Turntables and may have made a mistake. I removed the Tracking Rollers from both of them to realize the rollers are not symmetrical. Upon measuring them I discovered one side (axel) is longer than the other. One axel measures approx. 6.6 mm and the other axel 6.8 mm, so there's...

    I love my Harman Kardon Rabco ST-8, But....

    Harman Kardon ST-5 Rabco Won't Track

    After seeing a little discussion here on the H/K Rabcos, I decided to get back to my disaster ST-5. It is in shambles. I am having a frustrating problem with it. Everything "looks" good, but the darn thing tracks slow, in other words the arm leads the carriage. No matter where I set the...
