RE: Technics SL-1200 Alignment

I know that 60.325-mm is the inner null-point for Stevenson's alignment, but what about the outer null-point? I can't find the offset for any of the SME tonearms. However, if I could find the pivot-to-spindle distance of the SME Series II, that would tell me if it's possible for it to have Stevenson's alignment with the outer null-point. The parameter that SME states in the manual is "Distance from Bedplate Center to Turntable Center." If this is pivot-to-spindle mounting distance, then it's not possible for SME II and III tonearms to be Stevenson. Sure, you can align the inner null-point to 60.325-mm, but the outer null-point will not be a Stevenson null-point.

What makes you think the SME II and III use Stevenson geometry. If you're going by the null-points published in the Vinyl Engine, those are erroneous. I don't know how the Vinyl Engine came up with those null-points, but they are wrong. Either the null-points are wrong or else the other listed parameters are wrong.

Best regards,
