In Reply to: Nearly any tonearm can be aligned to Baerwald's geometry.... posted by John Elison on April 13, 2007 at 08:07:20:
I'm still waiting for the missing bushing from my VTAF kit but when I looked at spindle to pivot distance at the vinyl engine it had 2 figures ranging from 220mm to 222.8. I'm wondering if I should go with the latter figure. I'm doing a prototype board now and I'm just about to mount the arm, which is cut at 222mm, will see how well I can align this with the Baerwald protractor.But I agree, it shouldn't matter what arm it is, you're just using different null points. Obviously the pivot to spindle comes into play so the carts not at some silly angle in the headshell, been there with that.
