If I look at photo 4 it appears the gap between underside of the top of the yoke and the bronze piece looks about the same as the gap between the bottom of the armtube and the bottom half of the yoke.
This suggests the arm is too low.
On my SME the gap at the bottom is about twice that of the gap at the top.
Actual measurements -
Physical gap between top of tube including the knife edge and the yoke 3/32" approx 2mm
Physical gap between bottom of tube and yoke 6/32" approx 4mm
Another check - the bottom of the armtube in mine is inline with the bottom edge of the top half of the yoke ( looking side on below the screw ).
Unless its an optical illusion your armtube looks too low.
If thats the case there are only 3 options -
Knife edges too high
V cuts n the bottom half of the yoke have been recut and are now too low
Is your armtube original.
There is one other possibility - if the pillar bearings have been replaced and aren't deep enough, then the arm/yoke would be sitting too low relative to the armlift. However, from the pictures I cant see anything to suggest this.
Finally - is the pillar bearing assembly/armlift original ? Maybe someone has mismatched the armtube assembly and arm pillar bearing assembly ??
