RE: Help with SS Zephyr MIMC and VPI 3D Arm Please!

You may find it easy to do and I don't doubt your measurements to half a millimeter of precision, but I don't find it easy nor do I share your confidence. I tried measuring with both my platter and tonearm removed. I am not about to lay a metal anything against the platter bearing or the tungsten tip. Even if I did, there is a height difference which will throw off the measurement. So I feel my best efforts only provide an estimation. In my case I got 257.2 mms but it all depended upon how I sighted down vertically from my rule to the bearing center and pivot point-not something that can be done with engineering precision IMHO. This is why Mr. Ellison posted about his method which calls for measuring the height difference and subtracting out the hypotenuse (IIRC).
