But buying a new armboard blank from Roksan is a rather expensive proposition. It's machined Delrin, the inverted top-hat shown at the bottom of the arm in the picture.
Hardly seems worth it for 0.3 mm. Buying Ken's protractor makes a lot more sense.
I've thought about a better arm a few times, and when the thought hits, I go listen to music until the urge goes away.
Thanks again for the information.

No, it's not worth it for 0.3-mm. What I said is if you move the tonearm mounting base toward the spindle by 2.2-mm, you can align any cartridge to a Löfgren "A" alignment with your Rega tonearm. That will provide enough overhang for all cartridges. If you do that, you need a new arc protractor designed for a mounting distance of 219.5-mm and Ken Willis can make one for you.
Good luck,
John Elison
I knew you meant relocating the arm to the 219.5 position, but I didn't make that clear.
There's a plastics place in my area, and one of our maintenance techs at work recommends them highly. I need to get over there at some point to ask them about making an armboard for my Technics SL-110. I'm hoping they will able to recreate the Roksan armboard too, but that's more complex than the Technics.
Finally, thanks for the link to Ken's site.
