Rabco ST-4

The Harman/Kardon Rabco ST-4 is a direct-drive turntable that was popular during the 1970s. It features a unique design aimed at minimizing vibration and maintaining speed stability. The ST-4 is known for its accuracy in playback, which is attributed to its coreless DC motor, providing consistent speeds without the cogging often associated with traditional motors. It also employs a low-friction tonearm that allows for precise tracking of records. Additionally, the turntable is equipped with an automatic lift mechanism, which raises the tonearm at the end of the record to prevent unnecessary wear on the stylus and records. The unit typically comes with a dust cover and has a sleek aesthetic that fits well with various audio setups. Customers appreciate its durability and ease of use, making it a favored choice among vinyl enthusiasts of that era.
