RE: The tonearm headshells have extra long slots

Posted by dean man jim on January 17, 2010 at 10:32:24:
I didn't realize until checking just now that my Nagaoka, ADC, AT, and Technics headshells are all the same overall length and have the same length and placement of mounting slots, but my Jelco example is mysteriously longer by about 15 mm I'd guess (and with longer slots).

It would have been so much better if Jelco communicated this tidbit! I can't find a reference in anything they produce to indicate their choice in making a headshell with different dimensions than the rest of the world's universal fit ones. Or why they did it.

This explains everything regardng the mystery of mounting distance and headshell/cartridge appearance, for me anyway, and might give a person reason to source a Jelco arm without the Jelco headshell!

Thanks and regards,

Jim
