Old School Tangential Tonearm : Rabco ST-4

After using in  fair condition for a long time. 

My Rabco ST-4 " Straight Line Tracking" turntable should be need a new plinth.

Highly recommend to use with  thick cantilever cartridge like Shure M3D/M7D 

and others in same era.

Also match with legendary Jazz & Blues.

Thanks http://wegavision.pytalhost.com/ for this rare catalog.

It's time to start up new design amplifier project 

with original main parts of NEC Mono-Block. 

Winding Resistance Step Attenuator

After searching many information of vintage step attenuator 

for use in my tube preamplifier.

I've found attenuator in the box that use Tech Lab 600 Ohm attenuators.

Tech Lab Inc. was made high quality attenuator like Daven did,

that use in audio and measurement products like Western Electric, Tektronix, etc.

Stereo Sound Japan was provide information of 

Tech Lab PK-322 that has 2 types of resistor inside.

Type I : Mold Resistor & Winding Resistance Type

Type II : All Winding Resistance Type

Attenuator in the box from Stereo Sound Japan 

was use in many test system of Tube Kingdom magazine.

Like Stereo Sound Japan Website recommended.

Type I attenuator matched with all popular and modern music and 

Type II attenuator matched with old school music like Blues, Jazz and Classical. 

Both types improve dynamic and detail of sound system a lot. 

Let's try !!!
