Mr. Blue Sky,

I wanted to get my 120 working and mounted with my L34 Rondine Jr., but like you found, alignment is difficult so I built the sliding base to set overhang - the distance from the spindle to the stylus point. That worked, but I couldn't quite get the right angle for the Baerwald alignment so I made an adapter which allows the cartridge to be rotated in the head shell. The alignment is a bit fussy, but it works. The key is a machine screw which drops through a fitting in the hole at the top of the head shell to a flat aluminum bar which carries the cartridge.

I like the look and simplicity of the 120. It's built like other Rek-O-Kut products - no frills, no foolin' around - and I'm very pleased with the way the table and arm sound. The arm tracks very well.

Tom - Thanks. The solution was born of desperation.
