I wonder how it will work on my old warped vinyl records?

Keeping it centered to within half a track width or less might be
difficult with the needle applying a side force which is probably not
consistent across the tone arm swing. I expect to see a levitated
tone arm in the next version.

Fighting gravity seems to be the current obsession in turntables:
