Now that I read your post, I do seem to remember reading that bit of history regarding Baerwald / Löfgren here on the Asylum once before, possibly one of your previous posts. But I'd forgotten all about it.
Based on your information, I'll post a tentative "Mia culpa" regarding my accusation of my Wally Tractor being made incorrectly. But I will also say that if it only works with certain cartridges in the ubiquitous Rega arms, that is the first time I've ever been made aware of it! My question would be, how would someone know ahead of time, even if the Wally Tractors were readily available? I just checked the Dynavector site, and no specification for "stylus-to-mounting-hole distance" is given for the DV-20. A quick check of specs of various brands of cartridges on Needle Doctor didn't list it either.
Perhaps if I ever get a wild hair, I'll try and realign my Dynavector using the Löfgren "A", to see if it'll reach. But I look forward to cartridge alignment about as much as I do extensive dental work.
