Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened?


Curious as to the demise and downfall of the seemingly short lived linear tracking TT.
Just from a geometry point of view I would have thought a linear arm should be superior to one with a fixed pivot that sweeps through an arc.
Obviously there is much more to it than that, sort of the reason for this thread.
I am genuinely interested in trying one out for myself as well.

Today, I dusted off my old Technics SL-10.  I gave it to my Son years ago and he's storing it here.  It currently has a Pickering TL-2S cartridge run thru a Jolida JD-9.  I am stunned just how good it sounds.  Now I am debating weather to get him another TT and keep the 10 next to my 1210.
