In that case, let us not forget the Garrard Zero 100 turntable with a tonearm that is much more similar to the Thales tonearm than Frank Schröder's tonearm. I would say the Garrard Zero 100, which went to market in 1970, came long before the Thales tonearm.

The Thales tonearm I tested was at RMAF 2010, not RMAF 2011. It did not appear to be damaged, but I suppose that's a possibility. Regardless, all the extra linkage and extra bearings create excessive friction and the potential for unwanted and unnecessary vibration. The Garrard Zero 100 had the same problem.

Best regards,
