What does stylus tip to headshell base mean?

If it can't be aligned there is only one cause...just like experienced and Allan too, the mounting distance is wrong for the headshell/cartridge you are using.

The Ikeda data is correct assuming null points of 60.5 and 117mm namely the effective length is 307 and mounting distance is 295.

So if you can't align it with the Stevenson protractor then the effective length is different due to the different headshell/cartridge.

Forget the 50mm thing for now. What is the distance from the pivot of the arm to the midway point of the slots in the new headshell? Add 10mm and that is approx. the effective length with the cartridge mounted at the midway point.
