Thanks for your helpful responses. Before this post, I attempted contact with TurntableBasics requesting the instuctions. After several attempts, I have not received a response.
Again, I appreciate all of your help.

If I am not mistaken, I believe that I have read that using a auto leveling laser light which can be purchased from Home Depot or Lowes could be used in place of the string.
Doug,

I appreciate your follow-up. I am setting up a new system (Acoustic Solid TT) with Rega arm, so I believe the Baerwald method would be appropriate?

I also have a Grace 707 MK II tonearm on another turntable which I successfully used the Turntable Alignment Tool several years ago. If I am not mistaken both the Rega arms and the Grace 707 both have an effective length of 237mm and a mounting distance of 222mm.
Doug,

My side-mounted armplate (which is adjustable)for my Acoustic Solid turntable is set exactly at 220mm so we are in business. Now, if my new upgraded arm (it's a Rega platform)would arrive, I really would be in business.

Thanks again for your help.
