How do YOU find the hole?


I need to drill two armboards for arms that aren't commercially popular. What method / tools have you folks used to find the proper location to drill the hole to mount the arm in the armboard? Obviously, i'm looking for the most accurate method that is the simplest and costs the least : ) Sean

PS... I'm only kidding. I'd rather spend the money to do it right than to hodge-podge together something that will chew up records and spit them out :(

You need the template for the arm. Otherwise try the Vinyl Engine library and find the tonearm-pillar-to-spindle distance, and then simply measure it out to the best place on your tonearm board. The library always tells you the item is not available after you sign in, so you return to the library, and click on the tonearm again. It'll be there. At least, that's how it works for me. Good Luck.
You are welcome, Sean, and good luck on the other arm. Which Pioneer 'table is it? I may have one, providing it is a PL12D, and will simply measure the tonearm-to-pivot distance from the 'table itself.
