Did anyone have this type of turntable? Cart + needle are on a ‘linear tracking’ system that drops down from above rather than being on a tonearm. ---

Pretty sure Bang & Olufsen made the first one, they certainly had a few models. A mate’s dad had one of these with the secondary cleaner arm. ![image](https://forum.testpressing.org/uploads/default/original/3X/4/e/4eae574c3a1ed945492b0fcb97ea503504162183.jpeg) ---

Yes, B&O made them first. The second arm actually has an optical sensor to determine the size of the record. > **[Beocentral - Beogram 4000](https://beocentral.com/beogram4000)** > > The definitive Bang & Olufsen reference ---

I had the dubious pleasure of meeting Jools about 40 years ago when he was promoting an album. No recollection of the album but recall he had very obviously dyed jet black hair and terrible dandruff. ---
