Krenzler mentioned in an earlier thread the Thrales arm.

Vinyl Asylum

Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

It was posted with a wonderful moving diagram of how it behaves and works. What an amazing piece of engineering. It brings to mind an arm Garrard put on one of its turntables, can't remember which one but it could have been the GT 75. Allthough crude by Thrales standards it attempted to keep the cartridge alligned correctly in the grove by using a swivelling headshell controlled by a second rod parallel to the tone arm. It never caught on as the whole turntable was considered cheap tat. Just wondered if anyone else remembers this particular Garrard arm and if any other manufacturers continued developing a similar arm with any degree of success? Thrales must have got the idea from somewhere.
