Thanks Anthony!

The table is a Technics SL 1301 with a standard removable Technics headshell. The cart is a vintage AT13ea and does not have treaded screw holes, so the screw heads will be at the bottom with the little nuts above the headshell.

I will soon have a Technics cartridge alignment tool, which Technics recommends using in the operating guide. I thought I might also print a protractor off of Vinyl Engine to double check the alignment after first using that tool.

Good idea to remove the stylus assembly. I did try that but it's on very firmly, so I backed off. I hope I can do it without causing any harm.

One follow up question - What do you mean by the "cartridge mounting block". I don't have anything to put between the top of the cartridge and the bottom of the headshell. Does the blue tac just go between the two, and then stay put after finally tightening the screws? Or am I missing a piece?

Thanks again!
