My Audio System in my hobbit hole:

Now I prefer to use simple system: Pioneer PD-10AE+DENON DP-7F and Onkyo A-9150 with Fostex FF165WK (6.5inch) plus drone-cone because my main object is hearing more than 1000 LP records and around 100pcs of CD. I will not inrease them any more.

Equipment Model Remarks
CD Player PIONEER PD-10AE  bought in 2019 
Cassette Tape Deck PIONEER CT-970 manufactured in 1981
Record Player BSR/SANYO Rim Drive Motor Kit for 16/33/45/78rpm for playing SP/LP with turn-over ceramic/X'tal cartridges
Full Automatic Linear Tracking  Systems TECHNICS SL-5(1981-84) & SL-J2(1984/1985) with T4P cartridges and without cables. These have different characters and earth connect pin is not interchangeable so that I arranged to make earth pins and phono cables. I picked up other brands from junk too, but after some time of use, all went ill-functioning so I threw them away. Around 1980 many full-automatic linear-tracking models were produced in Japan and now they are available cheaply from recycle shops. Technics SL-10 jacket-size linear-tracker and a few Yamaha linear-tracking models are still highly appreciated by audio-maniacs as monuments. IMO: There is no essential merit of low lateral tracking angle error +/- 0.15 degree while the demerit of linear-tracker is uncountable in practice: unstable mechanically. Another demerit of jacket size turntable: it cannot use record weight/stabilizer for warped record because of space. Hence SL-7/10/15 had record stabilizer incorporated with cover.
TECHNICS SL-5 without quartz-lock : Record sensor/switch is on turntable platter with pop-up adaptor for EP (Turntable does not rotate without record). Simple function of stop/start/cueing/repeat.
TECHNICS SL-J2 with quartz-lock has rather complicated system with band detective sensor beside plug-in cartridge P-30. These arms are mounted on cover so that it is easy to clean stylus. Personally I doubt floppy arms of linear trackers. Maintance for SL-J2 is easier than SL-5 because rail part is easily disassembled according to service manual.
Linear-trackers require regular maintenance generally for arm system: 
   ①change of drive belt for inching arm 
   ②change of grease around worm/pinion gear
   ③cleaning of rail
all models from 1980s: recycled from junk in 2005/2006. 
Full Automatic Turntable Now my favorite DENON DP-7F (1987) Quartz-Lock Direct Drive Motor with T4P MM cartridge on swing arm (Not Linear Tracking Arm). This arm is designed for T4P cartridge VTF1.25g while the nominal tracking force of cartridge DL-7 is 1.5g+/-0.25g. There is a small piece on arm wand so that VTF can be adjusted between 1.25-1.5g in effect. Early instruction manual in English mentioned subweights (3 pieces: 0.1g, 0.2g and 0.25g) mountable on the end of wand near cartridge. English manuals say "US and Canadian models do not have cartridge." DP-7F equipped with DL-7 seems to omit subweight. This arm is controlled electro-dynamically with coils and magnets. A horizontal motor system (coils & magnet) incorporated into the bottom of arm is working for arm swing & auto return & anti-skating control. The right picture shows another system around the pivots functioning VTF & Arm Lift/Down. After some years of use, unexpected lifting occurred very often and I could not place manually stylus on the expected music band. Reading service manual I replaced deteriorated VR3 (tracking force adjustment) 10 kΩ trimmer with a new one and this malfunction was solved.  I find many cases of troubles after many years are caused mainly by carbon-coated variable resistor. I would change stylus every 2 years after around 1000 hours of use. I have no preference among makes of stylus: Denon genuine/Jico/Nagaoka. Hence I have reasonable plan for the stock of spare stylus.
In 2022 after 15 years use, another malfunction occured due to switch for size 17/30 (by touching repeatedly on size selection switch it starts working: similar trouble seems common for this model). Now I am using DP-7F as manual player with auto-return function. I prefer DP-7F because ①record weight can be used ②prompt manual play is possible.  Its sound is not great but solid with tight bass while some linear trackers sound boomy.
In fact, slide friction on linear trackers is higher than rotational friction of pivotted swing arm. To keep slide friction low and steady is difficult: not maintenance-free.

Now I use Denon DP-7F and Technics SL-5 & SL-J2 by turns.
DP-7F required re-adjustment of trimmers for motor driving circuit when turntable did not turn normally.
recycled from junk in 2005. 

This compact arrangement for vertical motor system may be related to Japanese Patent publication S57-37702(not patented)

Auto-start is controlled by the coupling of 2 LED/3 CDS/Shutter plus sub-shutter. Shutter position for lead-in for 30cm record can be adjusted by flat-head driver through lead-in adjustment hole.

Turntable DENON DP-2000 (around 1977) Quartz-Lock Direct Drive AC Motor - Nude without case and arm.  Running more than 10000 hours: I was used to hear average 2 or 3 records almost everyday during 1978-2000 with this turntable. It works still fine but I play other automatic turntable systems for easiness now. Turntable & Arms are placed on  Dupont "Corian" board 
Tone Arms (standing alone) Micro MA-505 (1976) Dynamic balance arm with detachable shell
CEC HA-937 modified to integral arm silicone oil damper
SME 3009 Series II improved (early model) integral arm without fluid bath
Infinity Black Widow  with fluid bath
Keith Monks Laboratory Arm M9BA Mark III, which I assume as most advanced uni-pivoted arm with magnetic anti-skating device & silicone oil damping similar to Decca International Arm Mercury contacts are dangerous but free from wire friction around pivot.
