I recently bought a Iketa IT-407 12" arm. While I follow the template and the exact measurements of the effective length and the cartridge tip to the headshell base, I can not get the perpendicular reading on the universal protractor that I used with 8" arms.I am certain that my measurements are correct. Ikeda does not provide a protractor and therefore I don't know what is wrong or I should in fact not use the protractor for 8" arms.
Are there differences between protractor for 8" and 12" arm? If so, where can I get one for 12" arm?
