Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened?

Thanks for the confirmation Frogman.

Eric - I don't want you or anyone else to misunderstand my US Cdn dollar comment. So let me add something.
  
Looking at myself, I have discovered I am the type of individual, that  when a good deal appears - the cash flows - its too hard for me to resist. Good deals rarely happen so when they do - if my instinct says so - I pounce on them.
Its never been about can I afford to buy item X at the current price. It's all about - if it a smokin' deal.

With the current environment - dollar exchange - there are no deals for Canadians - IMO . Remember also Dealers like to "tack" on an extra dollar exchange value, onto products as well, above their markup.
It is what it is.
To think my main speakers and Studer were purchased from the US when the Cdn dollar was worth more than US one.  
Cheers

@ct0517 - Chris- (or so i gathered), here's a photo of the back end of the arm as set up. Counterweight is the stock part: https://thevinylpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/DSCF0778.jpg

I never even knew that ET was literally just up the road from me, less than a 2 hour drive in all honesty.
Interesting indeed.
In fact the wealth of information I have gathered from this thread makes me glad I started it even though it did have a different slant to it upon conception.
Thanks to all so far.

Whart -  My understanding is that both weights work in concert. One does the locking ? Does Frank offer smaller weights to get you to the end of the rod with that cart ?  

uberwaltz - I was just thinking about that this morning. lol
From our ET2 Owner perspective you are very lucky. 
Worth the drive. .
