In Reply to: RE: Grace 707 azimuth adjustment? posted by SoundMann on October 16, 2016 at 08:53:27
I don't know this table's history. I hope the screw was slightly loose causing the movement, or else I have scored the chrome arm tube slightly.
I guess my real question is still: Is the purpose of this screw to set azimuth, or was it just necessary as part of the original construction? Certainly, the set screw is not mentioned in the manual.
After all my searching on the internet, searching the AA archives, and reading the MK I and MK II manuals, I only found one mention of the screw. That person couldn't move the headshell even after loosening the screw and suspected the headshell was fixed with glue.
Other persons even shimmed one side of the cartridge to obtain correct azimuth, and a few others stated that the headshell is totally fixed.
Follow Ups:
The headshell should not move once the screw is snug. Do not over-tighten it!
Obviously, the set screw must have already been slightly loose when I first tried to rock the headshell. When I finally install the arm, I will check the azimuth and carefully re-tighten the set screw.
I still want to know if this set screw was intended as a method to adjust the azimuth, or was it tightened at the factory and not for use by the owner.
The screw appears to be an anchor to rigidly couple the headshell to the armtube, nothing more.
