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.

My dad had one like that in the 80s.

Could have even been that exact model.

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.

Yes, B&O made them first.
The second arm actually has an optical sensor to determine the size of the record.

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.
