I have a Wally Tractor for the Rega arms, and it doesn't work.Some years ago (2006) I took my chances and ordered one, despite what I had read here on the Asylum about some cases of non-delivery.
After waiting about a year, I wrote again, asking when I might see mine. Wally Malewicz wrote back something like, "Oh sure, what arm was it for again?", and I had it within two weeks or so. I thought I got very lucky.
But as I said in my first sentence, it doesn't work for me. I don't know if it was made incorrectly, or because it was made with a pivot to spindle distance of 221.7 mm, and my Rega RB-900 is mounted at 222 mm, using a Roksan armboard for Rega arms. I should have enough play using the headshell slots to facilitate a proper intersection to correct for 0.3mm. But I've tried it with several cartridges, and its never come close, no matter how the cartridge is adjusted.
