In Reply to: Tonearm Mounting/Geometry Question.... posted by Mr Blue Sky on July 5, 2012 at 14:33:39:
Hi, Mr. Blue Sky,
Your conclusion that the pivot-to-spindle distance is 200mm might be correct. That's if you measure an overhang of 19mm and the headshell will accomodate an offset angle of 25.25 degrees. (Refer to the Vinyl Engine alignment calculator link below.) You could also check Vinyl Engine's tonearm database to find your make and model of tonearm and see what the design parameters are for effective length, pivot-to-spindle distance, overhang, and offset angle (or better yet, linear offset) and see which alignment geometry the tonearm will best accomodate.
Regards,
Tom
